[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my child threw food as part of a food fight and was told to clean it up and was given appropriate tools to do it (i.e. mop, brooms) I would have no problem with it.  [/quote]

But they were not given the tools. They were crawling on hands and knees. Therein lies the rub.

But if its cool for you all- then just sit back. I will look for your champion responses when its white kids on a video. :)[/quote]

I crawl on hands and knees when I clean my kitchen floor. I am totally against corporal punishment but all for natural consequences, which this appears to be. (Do your kids really not crawl around on their hands and knees at home? I mean, mine are always pretending to be horses or kittens or something.)[/quote]

This.  If they were on the floor, picking up the food they threw, I don't see anything wrong with it.  They weren't being made to clean up random rooms, they were being made to clean up the mess that they themselves made.  If they were embarrassed, well, they should be.  They made a giant mess that they expected someone else to clean up.  You don't sweep up a pile of spaghetti with a broom--you have to get on the floor and pick it up.

I am totally against corporal punishment, but I think of that as hitting, spanking, etc.  Not cleaning up the mess you made. [/quote]
