[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses, but here are my thoughts

1.) Never punish a class because of the choices of a few kids. It's unfair and it can lead to the kids resenting the child who acts out. Often the "troublemakers" are impulsive and/or stressed out by some major life circumstances outside of school. The last thing these kids need is for kids to hate him or her.

2.) Taking away recess punishes the adults as much as students. Children need playtime . The break and exercise helps them be more ready to learn. It is cruel to take away recess from anyone unless the child is bullying and/or aggressive. Taking away recess from a child who is hyper, etc is beyond moronic because it will likely make the regulation worse.

3.) Your kids get outdoor recess in this weather? My kids are so sick of indoor recess.

4.) Verify with the teacher that this is how she/he operates disciplines. Kids can tell tall-tales and you don't want to get in a tizzy unless it is warranted.[/quote]
