When I went to school (many years ago!) such behavior would have merited corporal punishment; a note home and more corporal punishment there.

Teachers don't have that option now.

“”When I went to school (many years ago!)””

Ok, I’ll say it - I went to elementary school in the early ‘40’s. That’s a whole lot of years ago. I remember scotch tape over the mouth for talking out of turn in class, stern warnings for running in the halls, standing in corners and some were shut in the coat closet - where they promptly ate the lunches of other students.

Older kids were sent to the principal’s office (my brother being one) where the principal wielded a paddle. I know times have changed - unfortunately in our whole society - but there has to be a better way of handling a misbehaving child than calling in law enforcement to subdue a 6 year old child.

Is obozo going to have a statement on this incident also? He seems to have an opinion on everything else. Remember he gets his discipline advice from the PM of some backward country in the middle east - Turkey?
