[quote=Anonymous]I would want to know more about the behaviors.  If one child provokes and the majority copy, I think it is a reasonable punishment.  I have no issue with my child being held back a few minutes or losing recess for misbehaving or being disrespectful.  If anything, I would be more pissed I did not get a call or email so we could have consequences at home as well and make it clear it is not acceptable.  Recess is great, but school is for learning.  We participate in activities and go to the playground after school.  Recess should not be their only daily exercise.  Keeping back children for a few minutes is not bullying.  It is punishing them/giving consequences for misbehaving.  I would hope you reinforce it and also do it at home.  A 7 year old knows better.

To the special needs parent complaining:  Get over it.  My kid is special needs too.  He's got speech issues, receptive and expressive that lead to all kinds of delays and concerns.  But, NO, is something most children can understand in less they are that severe and then those kids would be at a special school.  If anything the special needs kids need very firm boundaries and understand the consequences as we find that consistency and reinforcement is very important.  Luckily we rarely have an issue and our teacher communicates.  But, I will not let the special needs be an excuse or have my child treated differently than another child because he has to learn how to survive in this ugly world we live in.[/quote]
