A first-grader made to sit alone during lunch because of tardiness is forcing the Grants Pass school district to revisit its policy.

These union thugs posing as teachers are crazy. A six year old does not understand what this is all about. He will remember it for the rest of his life.
“Schools are now prisons. “

I was in 1st grade in the late 30s, Something like this wouldn’t cause a problem.
We were tough in those days.

If the boy was black, there would be riots in the streets...
you vill hobey or you vill be re programmed even futhuh!!
My 2nd grade teacher just used the old public humiliation method. Point them out to the rest of the class until they cried.
“He will remember it for the rest of his life.”

If he does it will be to laugh about it. He’s eating alone,not being tortured.

It’s abuse and it’s uncalled for.
Boy, that would so totally have not worked with me in elementary school.
“I get my own table? Without being crowded in with Stinky Lingenfelter or any gross girls?!? Yay me!”
The cardboard partition would have been the best part. Like I had my own private dining room.
Losing recess privileges never bothered me either, though. Staying inside and getting to read books instead of waiting in line to use the swing was just fine by me. We had a big backyard at home that was a lot more fun than the school’s playground any day.
The old “stick your nose into this circle on the wall” punishment though, argh. I hated that one. Usually because this one teacher I really disliked would put the circle at a height where I had to stoop down to touch it.
Did they actually have those back in the day? I know with absolute, 100% certainty that the paddle was no myth, but I never saw or heard of a dunce cap in the real world.
"I don't feel tardy."
To what extent was the tardiness the kid’s fault?
This is Holder’s punishment parity for the different races in action. Have to get the white infarctions up there with the black ones.
Lazy ass parents need to get out of bed and get the child to school on time.
In the 50s, I was forced to admit that I hadn’t brushed my teeth that morning ( i.e. I was asked outright ) and I had to wear a sign around my neck saying “I forgot to brush my teeth” for the rest of the morning, including lunch. This was in kindergarten or first grade.
I FELT pretty tough about it. My attitude was, “OK, I’ll wear the stupid sign. What’s it to me?” ... scarred for life, though :-)
BTW, I never brushed my teeth in the morning!
John Gatto is the best expert on public ed that there is and he calls it a 12-year prison sentence for children.
I was in 5th grade in the 60’s. Mrs. Kramer the music teacher would wack your knuckles with a ruler if she had a mind to then send you out into the hall. If the principle Mr. Abbott saw you in the hall you’d get licks to boot.
Happened to me only once, if I told my folks the teachers are mean I’d have gotten punished again.
This was a decade before Jimmy peanut started the Department of Edumukation.
No unions, just teachers and staff that didn’t put up with no bullsheet from students. It was a better world and better America.
That would have been heaven for me — Out the door and under a tree in the playground: better yet. Still like that to this day. Schizoid temperament.
It was a wonderful life.
It’s not abuse,it’s punishment for not obeying the rules.
If you call this abuse what on earth do you call beating and burning and all the other dreadful things people can do to children??????
