1st graders talking in class? Break out the cuffs!

Now I'm sure little Johnny never does anything wrong, but I'm betting that there are better ways to correct.

Lawsuit accuses security guard of handcuffing first-graders for talking in class - chicagotribune.com

Carin said the students were handcuffed for hours and told that "they were going to prison and would never see their parents again."

Wow.

This is insane! But then again so is most behavior at CPS.

But I am questioning why the security guard is not named as a defendant?!?

Such fail...

And please, when you see a police officer and your kid is acting up, DO NOT tell them "there's the policeman, he's going to arrest you and take you to jail if you don't behave."

I usually say, "there's the police officer who's gonna give me a high five after he watches me tan your hide."

Are you questioning the authority?

Great, like those kids don't have a hard enough time now getting the school thing down.

Interesting. The thread last week was applauding police in schools. I mean, if the parents aren't doing their job, administrators hands are tied because they don't want to get sued, what are schools supposed to do?

 

[LEaSH]

Meh. Conditioning 101.

My "Why my kids will never set foot in a public school for anything but work permits" list is running out of room. I never thought it was possible to use up all the space in an excel sheet with actual data but they're gettin' close.
