Man, even time outs are considered too harsh now? Wow, first it was spanking and now this. I bet next we're not going to even be able to yell at them.

If they step out of line, put them in an iron maiden.

Or you know...call their parents. Either way works.

How is a kid supposed to know that he's done something wrong without 5 fingers marked on his face for like an hour and a half? That's why we have so many retarded little fuckers on the net calling people the N word.

If it's to teach the kids not to freak out and violently beat on other kids, sure. Seems like they want to help them learn to chill out. And if the kids are your stereotypical brats "raised" by overindulgent sissy parents, then I, personally, would put them in a cage match with a very angry grizzly bear. So there.

Fuck each and every parent who is against this. Ever since the pussies put a stop to spanking there has been an overflow of misbehaving asshole kids. Time out is barely effective, and now they want to stop that too? I say, lets get rid of the closets and bring back the ruler. Beat these bastards till they shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. If more kids were spanked when I was going to elementry school I wouldn't have been bullied as much.

Why don't they get them help instead of stuffing them into small closets?
Because getting in trouble isn't a mental problem, it's just doing something bad. I'm assuming that this is pre-school age here but if a kid punches another kid, he should be punished like being put in time out. Then in his mind he will relate punching someone with the unpleasantness of being in time out and he won't do it anymore.

I think that they're being too soft. Before, if a kid got in trouble he would be paddled or something and they banned it because it hurts the poor children and they shouldn't be punished for doing something wrong. Now if you think that putting them in a closet is too harsh a punishment, what do you want us to do? Let the kids run around screaming?

no, harsher

when a kid does not do what the parent says, sitting in a room for some time is getting of light, even if it is for 5 hours, and the temperature is a comfortable -27
and there is a lion in there with them.
So you think children should obey every command without thought?
no I am stabbing at the out of control children that spit at their parents.
If I ever get children, and they pull that crap on me, it's a one way ticket to the orphanage!

sorry to be so rude about it, but I really can't stand those spoiled brats...
Those children are only out of control because their parents are incompetent and do not deserve respect.

ok, there's

1.) Time out (making a child calm down by reducing the activity around them)
2.) Hitting (yeah, not ok)
3.) Locking kids in broom closets, and saying that it is ok

I would rather they hit me

To the parents!

Respect is earned, and authority is legally something you get for having a child
but authority is never effective without your kids respecting you

I believe about 75% of kids with behavioral problems, were caused by parents like the ones posting here saying "Locking kids into little claustrophobia attack inducing broom closets is too light!"

I mean god, would you drop kick them if they did something wrong?

You guys are sick

Screw time outs, send the kid home until the parent can teach them how to act in polite society.

My parents tried to use tobasco sauce to make me stop swearing. Every time I swore they would put tobasco sauce on my tounge and I had to let it sit there for an hour. It didn't work. 'New Age' punishments don't fucking work.

just KICK the STUPID KID.
if i was on bad behaviour i had to run like HELL.

if i smacked the door too hard i ran like HELL.

if i insulted my parents in any way i,d run like HELL.

i,m now an athlete.
but seriously kids need discipline.
time-outs make kids weak, if parents teach their kids with an ocasional kick (by dad) all is gonna be fine.

not kicking the crap out of them, just make them scared enough so they never do it again.

Well everyone knows that the only way to teach a kid not to hit someone else, is by hitting them first, that's only logical. For fucks sake, kids are kids, let them beat eachother up when they're young so they wont do it when they're older. Bloody hell, if they fuck up, throw them outside and let them run around for a bit. If a kid has too much energy, making him sit still is not going to work. The only way to do it, is by making the kid use some of that energy. I mean, the fact that we call kids "stressed" these days is the biggest pile of horse dung I've ever heard. No kid is stressed, kids don't have any responsibility, let them be kids for god's sake.
Am I the only person who thinks this?

My 1st thought was this thread was made by a pansy-troll type person.

Clearly this is improper. They should just be tazing the kids to get them to settle down. That way they not only get to stay around the other kids, but they also get to be used as an example for the rest of them. :p

Seriously though, this is an imperfect world. Sounds like the school's doing the best it can with limited resources. They can't afford to have 2 teachers per class room; One to teach the class, the other to spend 15 minutes with little Billie every time he goes on a rampage. It's either the super-sized "closet" or risk getting sued by the other kids' parents because the rampaging kid wasn't separated from the group & he ended up hurting another kid. Either that, or the parents complain because the teacher spends a third of the day dealing with discipline issues instead of teaching.

Also, it's a 5x5 room. Exactly what is the minimum acceptable size for a room to not be considered an isolation prison cell??? I think it's more the isolation than the size of the room these people have a problem with. How can we have a serious discussion without focusing on what people actually object to? It's just people whining the school isn't ideal and perfect. Come on people.

I know. I suggest a serious debate & then follow it up by calling the people whiners. This thread's going nowhere anyway. It's just that kind of topic. No one's mind is going to change.

A time out is a stint in the corner, or in a bedroom without toys. There is nothing wrong with that. I refuse to read the article because I can already predict it is a sensationalist pile of dung.

20 years ago these articles where about spanking and how it is going to far.

I still don't think it is. There is not even a fine line between abuse and punishment. If you are mad when you are doling out the punishment it is probably going to be abuse. Take five calm down and give out a appropriate punishment. Most importantly try and make the kid understand the reasons for the punishment.
They were locking them in a closet, not putting them in a corner. Read the damn article before posting.

She said the children should be getting help learning to regulate their anxiety and anger.
It's not anger and anxiety, it's just them being twats. You can leave someone who is a twat alone and not say anything mean to him, and he will stil be a twat.
well said.

Bit more then a broom closet could be better, but parents need corrections as well if their kids are problematic.
