A body sock. Just the thing for someone who's claustrophobic or even close to it. There's nothing calming about being stuck in a small, enclosed space with no way out. Nothing at all. The school needs to come up with something better than that.

The discussion of spanking vs. beating: a swat on the rear is miles from a beating. There are times when that swat is well deserved, but as said in an earlier post it isn't the first response. Explain first, then if the behavior isn't controlled a swat may be needed. One swat, bare hand, on the bottom, not done when angry. I recall a few swats from my childhood, and a few meetings with board of education in junior high and high school, as did my siblings. So far none of us has gone off the deep end and shot up a classroom or workplace. One of the greatest social mistakes in our time (or our parent's time) was Dr. Spock and his theories on raising children.

 

Telling someone how to raise there child is a political issue and it is against forum rules to talk about politics on this forum. I think krash needs a dick sock and a swat on the bottom. [X(]

 

A body sock is a terrible solution and it is for lazy parents who don't care about their kids! I usually scream at my kids that I wish they were never born, or I hate them. It shuts 'em up right away. When they act up again, I tell them their puppy died because they were so naughty, and that's why their mommy and I got divorced. That usually works for the rest of the night. Gotta let 'em know their boundaries!

 

Ok, let me put everybody's assumptions to rest real quick. I know this kid personally since i let his mother bring him into work after he is done wit school cause she cant find a babysitter. He is a normal 4 year old boy. I havent had any problems wit him at all while he is here, he just plays wit his legos or we set him up at an empty computer for him to do some learnin games. He is a good kid and his parents teach the boy right. So as far as him bein disruptive in a class, i dont see it happenin. And besides, even if he was a bit, he is only 4 years old (they all get a lil disruptive time from time if they aint had a nap).

The school is suppossed to use them on ESE students (student that have a learning disability, which i dont know how the can tell that at that age but i ain the expert). He is not an ESE student, i.e. it wasnt suppossed to be used on him. Also, its not suppossed to be used for punishment, even on the ese students. I went to the socks website and its really for kids that have autism so that they connect wit somethin, not really suppossed to be used on kids that are a lil slow. The teacher marked down that he had been good all day and this incident happened at the end of the kids day during free time or reses (i miss reseslol) so honestly how the hell does a 4 year old be disruptive during free time? He wasnt hittin anybody so dont jump to that conclusion (in fact he had been beatin up by some boy a couple weeks ago somewhere else and didnt fight back cause he doesnt now how to).

Listen, i do believe in punishin a kid wit a belt if u need to and i do think that they should be aloud to at school...my mom used to catch my bear *** wit a wooden spoon (we are WOPS lol) and it helped me out down the line as far as learning respect. But, i dont agree wit punishing a 4 year old child like this at all. If he was so disruptive than y didnt the teacher send him to the principles office like they used to when i was at school? Instead she took it upon herself to put the kid in a giant sock that only allows his head to poke out...wtf? If anybody has been around a four year old ever in their life they know that it aint hard to teach them how to do right, it just takes a bit of patients. They do get a lil loud from time to time, but they are still young and i think if u dont have the patients to do deal wit them then ur in the wrong profession. I dont have kids but i do have a lil cousin that is the same age and if i heard that was put in a body sock for bein a lil disruptive during free time (again i dont c how that is possible as long as they arent bein violent) then i would but that biatch in a hole (again, im an italian and diggin holes are in the blood if u know what i mean).

The main thing to remember here is that the kid is four years old, he was playin wit the rest of the kids and bein non violent and the teacher put him in a freakin potato sack thats not even meant to be used on normal kids or for punishment. Go by the facts, not whether if using the sack as a form of punishment is right or wrong. It was used completely for the opposite use of what it was intended to be made for and i believe that it was wrong. The teacher could have and should have done something else in order to punish this child.
