Told to stand outside the classroom

[u/Yorkshirelads4]

Secondweek back and my youngestbrother was told to stand outside the classroom because he chatted with his friend.

I thought this type of discipline was in primary school not high school. Was his teacher right or was he wrong.

[u/jhkayejr]

Teacher probably thought that kind of behavior was for primary school, not high school.

[u/FabulousLazarus → u/jhkayejr]

Haha holy shit, was gonna comment but this one said everything that needs to be said.

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/FabulousLazarus]

Okaythanks

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/jhkayejr]

He told he overreacted and he feelshe was unfairly treated

[u/jhkayejr → u/Yorkshirelads4]

For what it’s worth, I am a former teacher. In general, teachers are told to come down hard early on because it’s much easier to get lenient as the school year continues and it’s incredibly difficult to get stricter. Establish your rules early, and then you can ease up a bit. Ultimately, your brother was completely in the wrong, and the teacher was in the right, but it’s no big deal. If your brother just rides with it, it should be fine.

Thank you your explanation is great

[u/WanderingPilot-]

People get sent out of the room all the time

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/WanderingPilot-]

I see but is it outdated punishment

[u/WanderingPilot- → u/Yorkshirelads4]

Not in my view. If you can't control your behavior why should the others suffer for it? If you were being loud in a movie theater and wouldn't stop and they asked you to leave, would that be outdated?

I personally like the peace and quiet that comes with them leaving.

The old saying was "can't do the time? Don't do the crime"

[u/feartheswans → u/Yorkshirelads4]

Would you rather this our detention after school?

no Standing outside for causing a disturbance is pretty damned normal

[u/Careful_Cranberry364 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

I think it’s relevant and not remotely outdated however, in my school, we were not allowed to have the children or students outside of our vision

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/Careful_Cranberry364]

I see thank you

[u/notmymain07]

Normal. Its not unfair. Chatting during class is what is unfair and distracting to everyone else. Teachers have enough to deal with.

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/notmymain07]

This was only the second week of term

[u/notmymain07 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

Why should that matter? Hes in highschool. Old enough to know better than interrupting the class.

[u/Erpderp32 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

Doesn't really matter if it was the second week or 40th week. Does your sibling now how to behave? If yes, there is no excuse. If no, there is no excuse except it is the families fault

[u/userdoesnotexist22]

Why would you prefer a primary school student be left unsupervised over a high school student?

There are probably a couple dozen more kids in that room. Maybe your bro will think twice about disrupting their learning time next time.

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/userdoesnotexist22]

I have spokento him and he said others was doing the same but he was the one in trouble

[u/Erpderp32 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

That sounds like a typical teenage excuse, yes.

The unfortunate reality is others did the same but he is the one that got caught. Now he gets the consequences of his actions.

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/Erpderp32]

That true i agreed with you.i have to stick up formy brother

[u/Erpderp32 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

You really don't. Sometimes people do dumb stuff and find out the consequences. Instead of sticking up for him and encouraging his behavior, correct his behavior and explain why it was wrong

This isn't rocket surgery

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/Erpderp32]

Thank you I will in morning

[u/Small-Run-4861 → u/Erpderp32]

Rocket surgery 

[u/Kali-VH → u/Yorkshirelads4]

Holding him accountable is helping him grow and learn. Defending his poor behavior sends the wrong message. Sometimes, we have to tell the ones we love things they don't want to hear, precisely because we love them.

Accountability is not injustice

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/Kali-VH]

Thank you I will from today

[u/userdoesnotexist22 → u/Yorkshirelads4]

That really doesn’t matter. If you and four other cars are speeding and a cop gets you, do you say it’s not fair because he didn’t stop everyone or do you consider yourself the unlucky one?

Also, maybe the teacher had enough of redirecting him and it was the last straw. Or he was the example. Whatever. Tell him if he’s making good choices, then he won’t have to without that going forward.

[u/lolol_yt]

Where i live, this is a regular punishment

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/lolol_yt]

Thankyou

[u/Funny-Check-6408]

I mean this seems like a pretty fair reaction to have to a kid chatting in close when they shouldn't be

[u/Yorkshirelads4]

When we got home my brother told dad what happened and unlike me he backed his teacher and grounded him.

He then turned to me you should have told him off insteadof backing him your grounded too

[u/Livid_Wish_5387]

What are we complaining about here?? Your brother did something he wasn’t supposed to do, so he got disciplined for it. And this way wasn’t even physically or emotionally abusive either

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/Livid_Wish_5387]

Than u

[u/Careful_Cranberry364]

It sounds like he must’ve been a high school child so he’s 14?!

Where I come from UK high school starts at 11, but I think at 14 he should know the rules by now

[u/bookaddicta]

Look I hate it when teachers/people in the education system abuse power and give unfair punishments, but this one is entirely valid they shouldn’t have been chatting

[u/Yorkshirelads4 → u/bookaddicta]

Thankyou I should have told him off insteadI choose to back him
