What is the difference between this and sitting in the corner? School Administrators have no spines!

NO doubt, I bet I spent the better part of my life in elementary school staring at a corner.
Should have made the kid where a dunce's cap.

Weldon complained to district officials and said her son was humiliated by "cruel and abusive treatment." Adams said the district handled the situation properly.
"I think the situation was resolved," he said.
That's what you think. This litigious society demands a suit be filed for insane amounts of ca$h!

I spent most of my kindergarten days standing in a tight corner behind the upright piano. A cardboard box would have been cool.

I'm on the teacher's side on this one. It's the parent and school administrators who are the idiots here. This is making me feel my age (48). When I was in school paddling by the teachers was allowed and my Dad gave them permission to do so to me.

At least it wasn't the ultimate punishment: cardboard panties.

LOL...every time I see somebody here post a pic of ol' Jackie Chiles, I begin to understand that Star Trek episode where they meet the people that don't communicate with syntax, only with allusion to other people or events.

Oh, good grief! When did parents lose their spines?
Kudos to the teacher for showing creativity and finding an appropriate, effective solution to a behavior problem.

No. Doesn't work. Same ostracizing principle: Expanisve empty hall, versus the cardboard screen. Instead call the parent to pick him up. Five times doing this, and missing work and paying for daycare, maybe some home discipline will be enhanced. This does work. My wife sees this all the time as a Speech Path.

Uh, yeah me too. My public grade school principal has THE RED PADDLE and they used it too. Kept us in line with just the threat of it.

"The kid went home then and played in his pretend soldier fort, which was made out of a cardboard box." I get the sense that playing soldier is a forbidden activity in this kid's house. If the teacher and administration had the presence of mind, they would have told the parent that the child had some apparent insecurities and they were only trying to recreate the warmth and serenity of the womb-experience by sticking him in a box.
I'm sure they could have sold that....

When I was a kid teachers put me behind cardboard till the cows came home. Sometimes even barbed wire and once i was even bricked into my desk.
