Sending out of the class is not a solution for a mischievous child, if the teacher set his seat on a distance from the rest of the class or call him near her table;
I believe, These tactics are more effective for this age.
Teachers have no disciplinary power, guys. The State of Qatar doesn't allow it, and this is good. You can take any teacher to court, even if he calls your child a 'monkey'.
I believe the point of "punishment" is to create a "regret" baseline, based purely on sound reasoning, as opposed to "resentment" which can be very emotional.
Have you bothered to ask the teacher how many times the teacher warned them or punished them in other ways before finally resorting to making them leave the classroom?
I do agree with TRAYS DAD . I have already enquired agout it to school management and the principal. So far we have not received any complaint about our child from any teachers. The incident was nothing but the children were playing in the class and made noice. And he have not warned before or we have not received any complaints about him .It seems this teacher is lil short tempered who cannot handle small children.
I think it's a lesson in reasoning for the kid with regards to drawing boundaries. The boundaries might deal with what is considered acceptable behavior in a classroom. Things like behavior which might be considered mischievous and such are addressed.
I suggest talking to the school on what that threshold is.
Personally, I have seen teachers using time-out by singling out the misbehaved ones and isolating him/her from the class activities temporarily. He/she is never left alone indefinitely. After several minutes, the teacher tries to reason with the kid regarding the offensive behavior and invites that kid back in with a proviso that such behaviors (or even lack of it) are not to be revisited.
mamacol, can we conclude that your child was continually "playing and making noise" during a lesson? If he /she did, then what the teacher did was perfectly fine.
Strongly disagree with you Pilgram. If a child misbehaved ( I still dont know, a 6 year old child playing and making noise can be counted as misbehavious or not) , a teacher can warn him or punish him in a good way. But after that incident , if still teacher keeps that grudge in the mind and not allowing to participate in competition ( remember not in the same day) cannot be justified.
If the child was so eager to participate in the competition they shouldn't have misbehaved in the first place. And I have to disagree with Tinkerbell, discipline begins in the home, if a child is misbehaving in school it's a sign there's not enough discipline at home.
If that happened, first I would ask the child what happened and what he did, then how many times he had done it.
Then I would talk to the teacher about it.
Maybe there were several warnings already that he would be punished if he continues with such behavior. But then he did not listen so the teacher made good on the threat to bring him out of the room.
Best is to talk it over with the teacher and if you do not get a satisfactory answer, then go see the principal.
Tinker, disagree a bit that discipline begins at school. I think it begins at home.
The next class we the same standard/ grade, only a different division, so incase I was thrown out of physics in my class, I always got that taken care of while listening to the class in the neighbouring division ;-)
An no I was in neither of those schools Jack... secret ;-))
Thanks alot everybody for your valuable commends. I personally dont support this attitude anyways. Sending a 6 year old child out of the class is not secure also.I strongly disagree with Tingerbell's comment. School is not a military camp. 6 year old child should learn disciple from the teacher with love...not with such a shameful punishments which will hurt their little mind.Not only this, this particular teacher is showing negligence to the child and didnt allow to participate in a competition which he was well prepared and eaget to perfom. This kind of attitude is really shameful for a teacher.
That's so cruel. I remember my son, how afraid he was to be left alone out of the class, where no body at the school corridor.
There are so many positive punishment to young child, eg: not allowed to play during break time, or to write on the rough copy, or at least to sit next to teacher.
I really do upset with the punishment been given to my children at school. Eg ; hitting him with ruler on his hand, this is abusive, but we have no choice except sending him to the same school cause we can not afford better school.
Where can we complain about this, as the school authority also hopeless.
@ rizks u deserved it ....damn throwing rocket in the class thats okie but on teachers (_!_)and what did u expected some kisses for that..... awesome another outstanding QLer...
when i was caught by my Maths teacher for throwing paper aeroplane on her butts...:( and a heafty slap was given to me by tat bytch and thrown out of the class...:(

i hav alwayz enjoyd standin outside the clsroom.... but ths kid is too small 2 suffr ths punishmnt....
We used to be hung upside down and beaten with a whip :O(
I think you're unaware of the classroom actual situation mammacool. A teacher is not the enemy of her students...
If she had sent a student out of the class, there must be something genuine to react on.
People were being sarcastic!
Yes, and home schooling keeps a child deprive of social interaction with his age group and fellow being.
Maybe your little sprog needed to be removed to calm him down and not disrupt the others.
So Home school the disruptive brat. I am sure the teacher has thirty other little ankle biters to deal with and won't miss him.
A warning NEVER teach kids under the age of 18. Because you have them PLUS their parents who think they know best.
LincolnPirate, I heard some parent in play area on public places call other kids monkey and they think only their own kids are human being.
Sending out of the class is not a solution for a mischievous child, if the teacher set his seat on a distance from the rest of the class or call him near her table;
I believe, These tactics are more effective for this age.
Honestly Home school your kids...
Teachers in every school can resort to these "Cruel" methods of turning a kid out of the class.
Play it safe and teach your kid yourself at home.
Teachers have no disciplinary power, guys. The State of Qatar doesn't allow it, and this is good. You can take any teacher to court, even if he calls your child a 'monkey'.
Seriously, I was focused on the student/teacher issue here, until...the sandals thing popped up.
:)
sam95, focus on the teacher's issue here not on mamacools sandals....:(
Rizks...how do you know that mamacool dons pointed sandals?
:)
call the teacher to Principals room and explain the situation to the principal and see wats the teachers reaction...
If he is at fault, remove your pointed sandles and bang on his head....:)
Of course we have enquired to the teacher. But she didnt give a proper answer. She couldnt give a proper justification.
I believe the point of "punishment" is to create a "regret" baseline, based purely on sound reasoning, as opposed to "resentment" which can be very emotional.
Ofcourse RIZKS Im reading all comments.
mamacool, have you actually spoken to the teacher that punished your child?
Have you bothered to ask the teacher how many times the teacher warned them or punished them in other ways before finally resorting to making them leave the classroom?

mamacool u can see only Medans comment here, wat about other who have also commented ? :(
by the way, who is Medan ? Can he/she raise her/his hands up please ? :(
mamacol, can we conclude that your child was continually "playing and making noise" during a lesson? If he /she did, then what the teacher did was perfectly fine.
Rizks, there are alot of good ways to teach discipline for a child , please scroll up and see Medan's comments.
100% agree with treysdad.
or a KitKat would have done the wonder ? :(
Maybe the teacher should have kissed your child and told them that everything would be ok.
LP if parents and Principals are called then where the hell will the teachers go ?
Go to Souq waqif and play Hide n seek ? :(
Rizks, call the parents. Call the principal. Let them handle it. You cannot do anything.
Can we know wats the good ways a teacher is allowed to punish ?
Strongly disagree with you Pilgram.

Still can't see what she is going on about
Rizks, you are the man!
I say we beat up the teacher :-P
WK, the her kid in first standard was thrown out of the class
What are you going on about mammacool???
The next class we the same standard/ grade, only a different division, so incase I was thrown out of physics in my class, I always got that taken care of while listening to the class in the neighbouring division ;-)
An no I was in neither of those schools Jack... secret ;-))

If throwin paper aeroplane at the teachers bums is the sign of cruelty then I DONT WANT TO STUDY....:(
If this is termed cruel then I don't think you should let your kids out of the house at all.
Colt45 did u write your own class test papers or the other class?..
Colt45... looks like there were more... girls in the other class ;)
But then St Micheal's is a boys only.... and Canossa Convent is a long distance away....
....den which class?
Its not about whether you two are or were outstanding... so stop hijacking....:)plzzzzzzzzzzz
BTW reminds me of the advantages of standing out from the movie 'Main Hoon Na'...:)
maybe he's an "outstanding" student? :-P
Oh, I was one too and I did learn al lot from paying attention to the other class ;-)
Then, what should be the first resort or any resort before the last resort???
LOL rizks!!!! Damn U shud have changed your profession to PILOT.. we can see your future...
Meanwhile did u manage to find the runway & land it on wide load ones..
Poor rizks!! u tried a perfect landing and she gave a perfect slap..
why should a 6-7 yr old kid face that punishment? If the child is troublesome, that should be the last resort not the first resort.
In certain Indian schools they throw the children out of the class if they fail to bring their text books
the name of school later future when i have kids i can get admission for them in that school :(
I think teacher send him in another class like a punishment some times we should faith on teacher.he might be making the class destrub.so be cool..
kagester my Math teacher had so big butt - for the moment i thought. tat was an airport...:(
tatz why i threw paper aeroplane to check whether it lands perfectly or not ? :(
That's so cruel. I remember my son, how afraid he was to be left alone out of the class, where no body at the school corridor.

Distraught mother

Punishment for a 5 yr old boy?????
Which school is that????
Pls report this matter to SEC they will deal with this.
Out of class, that is a reward to me when I was that age.
i just remebered my childhood dayz....:(
when i was caught by my Maths teacher for throwing paper aeroplane on her butts...:( and a heafty slap was given to me by tat bytch and thrown out of the class...:(
Poor ME ! :(
....What punishment would you prefer? Sending a naughty child out of class is pretty standard.
why should a child in 1st standard be thrown out of class?
the child shld enjoy freedom at times :0)
As opposed to what? 40 lashes from the teacher?
Sounds fine to me.
Which Indian school is that?
just call up SEC and tell them. They will take necessary action.
