The next time you hear a kid on the playground screaming “
A mom told police they could use a Taser on her ten-year-old daughter for resisting arrest. So they did. And now the little girl’s father is outraged.
When kids misbehave or even just don’t follow through on their responsibilities, some sort of consequence needs to be administered. Missing recess, staying after school, even being sent to the dreaded Principal’s Office — these are all common, accepted punishments for such crimes against humanity as talking back to a teacher, running in the halls, or not turning in an assignment. At Willard Grade Center School in Ada, Oklahoma, a fifth- and sixth-grade only school, they’ve come up with a new and unusual punishment. Kids are made to spend recess standing next to school building, facing the wall.
It was like a scene out of A Christmas Story – an eight-year-old girl said a bad word, so Mom put soap in her mouth to wash the filthy words out.
Can a school principal ask her staff to report how often the black kids are getting in trouble? What about calling for a report of how many Hispanic troublemakers are sitting in the classrooms?
