You give respect to get respect. I am not saying a teacher has to lay down and get rolled over by bad kids. I am saying there are better ways to get a kid in line than taping their mouth shut and closing them in the closet.

That teacher was an ass! I had a teacher like that when I was in second grade, she used to jam a big ornamental ring into my back and make me cry because I was not able to sit still in class and keep quiet. She used to smack me around and tell me I would get it worse if I told my parents. Did I behave in her class? Hell no! I Acted out even more out of hatred for the b!tch.

I hate that woman to this day and she taught me that adults are evil.

If it was not for the really cute and enthusiastic 3rd grade teacher the next year my education would have been done in for. My 3rd grade teacher and I got along great and I behaved very well in her class, because she was nice to me and treated me with respect. Did I get in trouble in there? Yes I did, but she handled it with dignity and respect and then I felt really bad for upsetting her.

You teach kids to show respect by example, treating them like common stray dogs will not be productive.

We had a dog that would dig holes all the time, my dad was at his witts end with that dog so he tied its front paws together for an hour. I bet that made some of you more upset than a teacher taping a kids mouth shut and throwing him in a closet.
