DS is finishing 1st grade. I have had some problems in the past few months with his teacher and her responses to various behavior issues with DS and some other kids at school, in the classroom and on the playground. The other day at school, DS fell asleep for a few minutes at the very end of his 30 minute silent reading period. The night before he had been out late for a school performance, but went to bed right after arriving home. In response to him falling asleep, the teacher docked him 5 minutes of recess time. He has never fallen asleep in class before and in the grand scheme of things, 5 minutes is pretty minimal I know, but this didn't sit well with me. What do you think about this punishment?
FTR, I have no intent of engaging the teacher in a dialogue about this incident; we have had other more serious issues we won't be addressing either. Just hoping to end the year and be done with it!
