You are, of course, free to believe anything you want to believe. That doesn't make it true ... or even reasonable.
You responded to my post #9. Have you read the article? No?
Go ahead and do that. I'll wait ...

OK ... now that you have read the article, you know that my Post #9 is an objectively true statement.
Ponder that fact for a moment.
We don't know the whole story. Obviously. We don't know what sort of classroom misbehavior drove the teachers to employ this sort of inappropriate punishment. Since we don't know all the facts, we can't properly assess or solve the actual problem.
if the kid has a discussion with his/her teacher concerning that kid’s behavior and the kid doesn’t respond well, it’s escalated to the principal who gets in contact with the kid’s parents.
BWAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahaha!!! Yeah. Right. The apple seldom falls far from the tree ... the real problem kids have real problem parents. You can't discipline them, you can't get any help from the parents, you can't expel them, and you can't teach the children who actually want to learn.
I'm not going to make this personal. I ask the same courtesy from you.
I’m a parent. There is nothing any kid would do that justifies that punishment. It is just plain perverted.
You can laugh all you want to, but my kids knew that I would take action if they did anything that disrupted their classes. It’s part of a parent’s duties.
If the student’s parents don’t take action, then suspend/expel and let the parents figure how they’ll educate him.
