[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much the only punishment teachers are allowed to use is taking away recess, and the parents absolutely howl if you do that because “it’s not developmentally appropriate for kids full of energy” so I’d love to know what punishment they’d accept for their darlings. They are terribly disruptive and the parents just excuse it with “they’re social and love talking with their friends” provided that the friends are the right ones from the good neighborhood.[/quote]

I’m envious of any teacher that is allowed to take away recess. 
Even when I started teaching in public school 20 years ago, we weren’t allowed to take away recess 
Teachers truly have their hands tied in trying to deal with misbehavior.  
It’s for this reason, along with parents like the OP I walked away from teaching without a means of earning a comparable income. [/quote]

Thank goodness you walked away from teaching.  There's a reason why we don't want to take recess away!  Inmates get more outside time than kids do during the school day.  Adults get more freedom in a 9-5 workday (unless you work in a factory) than our kids get in school.  
Wake up people!!!  [/quote]
