Besides, I think more love needs to be shown towards kids. Discipline can be loving and to discipline means to Disciple. All this punishing kids in front of other kids only leads to more bullying, children with feelings of inferiority. I NEVER remember having teachers do some of the stupid stuff they do now. Like names on the board, labels, etc. All the memories I have were of teachers who commanded respect and an orderly classroom by the way they presented themselves. Too many teachers that should not be teaching. As far as the snack... if the parents provide it, the child should have it and might really need to have it. Late afternoon is when kids need some protein to get through the rest of the day. Let love be the mantra in everything and cover each child in prayer and watch what God can do.

That is wrong. Did you ever think they might be hungry as the reason they are not listening well?. There are other ways to encourage good behavior such as no playtime, or give homework or time out .

]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2016 04:21:12 UTC 19754565 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19754554?utm_medium=rss How would you feel if your food was taken away when YOU make mistakes?? These are children! Maybe YOU should just be punished by not being allowed to eat for a month for coming up with this hair-brained idea. Some families may struggle to provide food for the school to feed their children at snacktime. Also, because they are supposed to have snacks at school, the family may not have snacks at home. Think before acting like the gestapo.

]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:17:29 UTC 19754313 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19754311?utm_medium=rss No recess or playtime is a better option for discipline than taking away snack, especially because of the long time between lunch and when the child gets home.

]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:15:33 UTC 19754311 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19754255?utm_medium=rss I'm a teacher and I definitely would not use this as a punishment. In fact, I have found that some children in my class that started at the beginning of the year with behavior issues were in fact hungry. So I make it a point to have a 'healthy' snack each day. No candy, gummies, etc. Some of these children had never had fruit or veggies...after a few tries they now like new healthy foods. If I'm hungry I'm irritable, have headaches, etc. Don't you think children will be the same? This also applies to water breaks. They need nutritious snacks and adequate water breaks throughout the day. This should never be taken away as a punishment unless these behaviors are occurring during those breaks.

It's likely referring to more than snack but for kids who only get to eat at school it can make an abusive inpact. Take recess away not snack! I found a link that states that in Tx if the snack is supplied by the school system or parent it is illegal, only if the teacher provides it could it be looked as otherwise. It went on to state that the act of withholding lessens their feelings of security. Aldo on www.ehow.Com has information stating that the American Academy of pediatrics stated that food shouldn't be taken as punishment because it can cause eating disorders as well as long term emotional issues.
