In this example only, this kid had been suspended more than once, he clearly wasn't getting the message. What'd the foster mom think? It was a school vacation?
What other conventional methods are there? Zero tolerance bullshit? The teacher didn't have anything else at her disposal.
This teacher could have humiliated this kid by doing it in front of the rest of the class, but she didn't she took him to an office.
For the 10% parents who say they will discipline their kids, there are 90% that don't, they're too busy being buddies to their kids, to bother with discipline.
Eh - that's why I decided against teaching full time, I was sick of parents who didn't care.
