The only lesson this kid learned was that he was singled out for ridicule.

For good reason.

Amazing. Focusing on one child and forgetting the other 14. How do you know what problems he's caused them?

This is what is destroying the U.S. The idea that one person's needs will be put above the other fourteen.

Wow....how do you make the conclusion that singling out a five year old for ridicule is what is destroying the US. I am not suggesting that this kid is some angel. He may have caused problems in class. If that is the case, this teacher should have gotten the principle involved and together with his parents, come up with the appropriate discipline. Her method of punishment may end up damaging the child emotionally. And what message did it send to the other kids? Perhaps, if the whole class doesn't like me, I will get voted out too. Better to be a sheep...

But there have to be much better ways to handle the issue. The teacher should have taken the steps necessary to remove the child from her class and not allow him to return—period, due to his disruptive behavior. And maybe she tried without success. However the emotional beating that boy took at the hands of his class, at the teacher’s direction, didn’t solve anything and in fact made the entire situation far worse.
