CarthDawg77 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Students made to stand out in cold as punishment Sia Nyorkor Feb 19, 2016 18:53 BRIMFIELD, OH (WOIO) - Third grade students at Brimfield Elementary were disciplined on Wednesday because of a few students misbehaving. The students were made to stand in a line, in the cold as punishment for behavior on the playground. Jennifer Lohr says students need discipline but not in this way. "I'm all for disciplining children and they need those boundaries that discipline provides but I think they should expect certain disciplines and when you give them something that's outside of that, I just think it makes them feel unsafe," she said. The students were already outside for recess but a concerned parent tells Cleveland 19 the students were made to stand in a line and told to stand still for over 15 minutes. On Wednesday there was snow and temperatures were in the lower 30s. "I wouldn't like it, I would go talk to them and I would expect whoever made the decision to be disciplined," said Lohr. Principal Barbara Werstler did not return calls but the Superintendent of Field Local School District, David O. Heflinger released the following statement: "This past Wednesday at Brimfield Elementary School, students were made to stand outside as punishment for behavior on the playground. The circumstances of this punishment should not have happened and was wrong. Steps are being taken to make certain it never happens again. Additional training will be provided to the monitors on student behavior and how to handle any future occurrences that should arise. The Principal will be creating a new system to go along with the Positive Behavior Interventions Supports Program (PHIS) to establish an acceptable protocol."

KirtFalcon Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 My two sons walked to school for almost a mile when they were in the 3rd and 5th grade when we lived in Alaska for over 4 years ... it was hard, but it built character and they survived .... it wasn't punishment either in my mind ...

DaveTV1 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Since they were already outside what's the big deal? They were made to stand still ? I don't get it either, because they probably had coats, gloves, and toboggans on. I would much rather have this punishment than the winter punishment we had when I was in school. We would have to do wall seats or froggies for 15 minutes, and after 5 minutes your thighs were on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So her not knowing what I did to get in trouble was not a possibility. So, yes, at least DOUBLE when you got home. Or worse, "Just wait till your daddy gets home!"

We had one teacher who stopped using the "board of education" when the state said it had to be done in private, I.e. the office. She said she couldn't get a running start in the office. When she swung the board, that whole wing of the school knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
