When I was in fifth grade I had to go two days without talking for saying "shut-up" to a classmate. This wasn't my teacher's policy but some snub-nosed temoporary sub that my teacher didn't agree with but complied with the new "rules" until the sub left. It was a punishment that was more hurtful than constructive, and since I've grown older I realized how wrong it was.

Since this is a religious school I guess they can do what they want, but I'd pull my kid out in 2 seconds if this went on where he was going to school.

LOL, how wrong was it? Do you see a therapist for post traumatic stress syndrome?
