[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 435094, member: 2211"] [COLOR=darkslateblue]My kindergarten teacher locked me in the closet because I wouldn't lie down for naptime with all the other kids. I was asthmatic and my mom told me to ask the teacher if I could instead put my head down at my desk. She said no, I insisted what my mom told me to do, I ended up in the closet with the doors locked shut in the dark for the 20 minute nap. When I told my mom, days later, heads rolled, teacher was fired, end of her. [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkslateblue]I got over it. And so do many other children around the world - who among us hasn't ever had ONE bad teacher who forced their will on the kids? I just think people should be careful to jump on the 'poor difficult child' wagon in this case. We're all so ready to advocate for our kids that we hardly give them an opportunity to A) advocate for themselves, and, B) suffer the natural consequences of their actions.
