Wall Discipline Prompts Concerns
ADA A mother who kept her sixth-grader out of school for a week because of a disagreement over how he was punished said her son will go back to school today. Amy Catons son, Jonathan, 12, was told to stand facing Willard Grade Centers brick school building Oct. 20 during recess. He was being punished for not turning in a homework assignment.
Caton said her son gets 15 to 20 minutes of recess after lunch every day. Caton decided to send her son back after meeting with school officials Tuesday. She contends the schools policy of making students stand facing the side of the brick school building as other children play is wrong.
Gee, she really showed them! Keeping her little, lazy, dumb brat out of school for a week. I bet that made the school miss him and realize the error of their ways.
IMO - The correct response would have been for her to say that she would be more vigilant in checking his homework each night.
