[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um…15 year veteran HS teacher here and I think this is truly not ok. Elementary kids can’t talk at lunch? A kid forgets and is shamed? Come on. How can anyone think this is ok?? [/quote]

Have you read the thread? Nowhere does it say they aren't allowed to talk at all during lunch. I'm still not sure where the shaming part comes in. It's not like her child is eating in a cage alone in the middle of the lunchroom while everyone watches.[/quote]

OP here. They were not allowed to talk at all at lunch that day. The entire grade had talking at lunch taken away from them (a day? a week? I'm not sure...) from being loud earlier in the week.

She was really worried about being made fun of for being in trouble. She hates getting in trouble. Because she CARES. She's not a kid that doesn't give a $hit. There are kids in her class that probably would (or have) told the lunch aide to go F themselves if they had to sit alone at lunch. [/quote]

This dynamic of "but my child is a good kid who makes mistakes, and other kids are those who don't give a $hit" is a really poisonous one.

The fact that she was talking in defiance of another punishment is probably why this was escalated.  That's a huge thing to leave out, OP.
