Syag, i was referring to the system of acceptable punishments that that particular school had. We don’t do things like that anymore, and they don’t work for kids in our time. To be clear, i wouldn’t think of making one of my kids walk around without shoes.
As for being disturbed about wanting to act on things that happen outside school; think about it – a kid beats up his friend putside school; they’re in the same class, and you’re in a position to solve the problem, and deal with the culpability of one child if they are at fault – what’s the rationale not to? Are you only supposed to deal with what you see in front of your eyes and pretend nothing happens outside of the classroom?
