Apparently it still is being practiced. I think it really depends on how the teacher wants to handle it. I would leave it alone. The teacher had cause to discipline this child and it is not something considered as endangerment or abuse. It’s just a different alternative to “time-out” Which this method is a time out but instead of sitting on their butt they are on their knees. I know the first instinct is to get upset about it but this teacher has to have some sort of control of her classroom. She cannot do this if parents are constantly on them about how to run her classroom. Hope this made sense… and I hoped I helped you some…

the toddler could desire to are transforming into in hardship for speaking yet to no longer that quantity whilst the toddler is new to the comprehensive college venture. My toddlers act up and that they get punished for it yet no longer whilst they dont comprehend any further powerful or are nonetheless interior the adjustment faze of each little thing. Now if the toddler grew to become right into a consistent hardship or getting directly to them some or extra cases didnt artwork then particular. toddlers want self-discipline and early on is the excellent time by way of fact what you be taught youthful you in no way forget approximately. I actual have seen toddlers who could hit or chunk or consistently mouth off that intense want a spanking or something resembling adjust their approach yet some human beings will snap and do this for the smallest issues even whilst the toddler didnt comprehend any further powerful. the instructor ought to be further in and have a communique with no longer merely the mothers and fathers and the belief however the toddler to boot so as that the toddler could be asked if its genuine what happened precisely by way of fact the instructor says it did and if no longer what did take place. some instructors attempt to lie and canopy their butt and with the toddler there they could inform you if its a lie or no longer. Granted the toddler won’t tell the entire fact yet you will comprehend if the instructor is to. If a mutual settlement can not be reached between the instructor parent and thought then the toddler could desire to be placed in a different type.

For on thing, this isn’t abuse. Having to sit on his knees is an uncomfortable position usually but it’s not painful. A lot of people don’t realize that when pain OR discomfort are involved in a disciplinary situation it is twice or more likely to stick. Otherwise they’ll end up repeating the behavior that got them in trouble. My advice is to let it slide.

It was alot worse when I was in school. I remember teachers being able to spank you with a wooden pattle. THAT was cruel. I don’t think being put on his knees is bad. People raise their children all different ways now. Maybe time-out doesn’t work anymore?

I say don’t sweat it, but that’s me. Don’t do anything if the child isn’t yours.

Time out is still the most appropriate form of dealing with inappropriate behavior. I’d say a parent teacher conference is in order. If you don’t care for the teachers methods then it is time to talk to the principal about a change of classes for your child.

No, this is not OK, it’s abuse.

Time out away from the rest of the hildren is OK. If the child apologises the punishment should be over. Time out for a small child should not be more than 5minutes, for an older child 10minutes.

Time out is for the child to be able to think about what they have done and to show them its not fun to be excluded, even for a little while.

Report abuse. Its bad for everyone.

sounds weird…was he in the corner? Maybe that was just how the teacher wanted him to sit. I think kids and parents need to be prepared for more discipline in class. It’s the kids that don’t get it at home that disrupt the class and ruin it for everyone else. It does not sound severe that’s for sure.
