The family of an Oregon first-grader is outraged that his school forced the boy to sit by himself during lunch as punishment for being late.
The boy’s grandmother, Laura Hoover, took to Facebook to protest his retribution with photos of Hunter sulking into a cardboard wall blocking his view of a cafeteria bustling with his peers.
“His momma’s car sometimes doesn’t like to start right up. Sometimes he’s a couple minutes late to school. Yesterday, he was one minute late,” Hoover wrote. “This is what his momma discovered they do to punish him.”
His mother, Nicole Garloff, came to check on little Hunter at Lincoln Elementary in Grants Pass on Tuesday and ended up taking him home. She found him staring at his stark food tray in tears over the whole ordeal.

Also what does it say on the white cup next to him turned upside down.Dunce.If so some one in authority needs to go down and hard.That is mentally abusive to that little guy
So what
Schools here are opening 2 hours late again due to ice left over from early last night, this has been happening about once or twice a week here.
But will it go on his......*jarring chord* PERMANENT RECORD?
The War on Men starts with boys.
You would care if your child was in a class that was disrupted continuously by a careless parents failure to get her kid there on time. I am betting a kid who is “1 minute late” causes the loss of 10 minutes of the teachers time getting him in, settled and ready to work. I might not agree with the cardboard but the kid should be sent to the office every time he is late and an aide required to bring himi to class and get him ready to start working. He will still miss at least 10 minutes of every day and any quiz or starting assignment which should be made up during solitary lunch
If this happens regularly then the school should contact social,services about his tardiness
Spot on. These kinds of interventions are cruel.
This would never happen to a Muslim child.
If it did, the last thing the teacher ever heard would be “ALLAHU AKBAR!!!”
Well it is probably true the parents probably have other issues, can’t drag themselves out of bed due to no jobs, drug and alcohol problems etc. My sis was always late to school starting about 4th grade. She never broke the habit, she is late everywhere.
Boys need to learn there are consequences for being late continuously
Maybe their habits will be better than those of the careless parent raising them

Perhaps you’re not aware of how liberal this punishment is.
“The cardboard shield “was never intended to isolate or stigmatize students,” Grants Pass School District added.”
Okay, then, what was the point of doing it, you flipping idiots?
They must think people are stupid.
Exactly. How is it the child’s fault?
It seems momma should be sitting behind that cardboard screen. Good grief.
And what would the Child Protective Service Nazis do then? Take the kid away from his parent/parents for "his own good"?
Kids who cause trouble or disturbances should simply be thrown out of class for the rest of the period. The other kids are not there to watch little jimmy's imbecile antics. Maybe they actually want to learn something.
But of course we can't do that because it would hurt poor little jimmy's sensitive feelings and scar him for life. So instead the rest of the class has to endure little jimmy's idiotic outbursts.
Should she get a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini?
Maybe mom works nights and has trouble getting up in the AM. My mom hated getting up in the morning. We were on our own in the morning. Maybe the teachers would prefer the little boy walk himself to school so he won't be late. It's first grade.
Heck I’d like to have one of those for when I eat.
And what would you suggest to stop this continuous show of parental neglect? Because habitual tardiness ( do not fall for the “1 minute” claim) is parental neglect and disrupts a classroom that may have 30-35 other kids waiting for the teachers attention to get them started on the day’s work
