How did you find out that your child was not allowed to go to recess? How did you find out the reason? Did the form come back to you for signing? I scanned the whole thread, so maybe missed this, what was the form for?

Pretty much. You are paying extra for strict discipline, consequences, and not being lax OP

Private.
Whatever you’re paying, it’s way too much.
Taking away recess is unacceptable unless your child has been beating up other kids at recess.
+1 I’d be deeply concerned about the administration’s judgment and lack thereof. To punish a child by withholding recess, for a parent’s mistake? More reasonable would be to call the parent to the school to sign the document while the kid waits in the office, or send the kid home until the documentation is completed. But really the school should have made sure all this was done before school began.
I don’t think this school has a child’s welfare in mind.

I don’t totally agree with this consequence but I also don’t think it’s worth complaining about either. You and your kid has learned a good life lesson. Double check what you do.
uh as a parents whose kids have all gone to private independent schools this is NOT how it is done at private schools. Our private school never takes away recess and my kids have had their fair share of trouble.

By all means, complain and have recess reinstated for every student who does not follow instructions. Bring the bad behavior of public school students into your private school.
What bad behavior? Not returning a signed form? Taking away recess isn’t discipline, it’s the sign of a lazy, untrained teacher or a teacher who needs to retire. Private schools don’t have rigorous requirements for who they hire so it could be either.
And you wonder why teachers are quitting en masse...
and a teacher who acts like this should resign. No teacher is better than a bad teacher.

And I'm glad they are if they are taking away recess for anything much less for things that parents failed to do. Those kinds of teachers need to stay away from kids.

I am guessing that wasn’t the reason the teacher took away his recess. He just doesn’t want to tell you the real reason.

It's not PP's fault. School's didn't support dyslexia when PP was in school, so PP can't read posts.
Do you read anything before making an irrelevant comment?
My son used to lose some of his recess because his learning disability slowed him down. He needed more time to finish the work.
