stupid kid; stupid parent

[asdf]

If you change the setting in this situation from the basketball court to the 6th grade math class or the 6th grader's own home and the teacher or parent respond's with "what did you say ??"......

It's not baiting.

If the kid repeats the comment, he should get punished.

I will speak from the classroom teacher perspective: If you heard something, punish it, like the OP. "What did you say?" when you have already heard what was said is power tripping and baiting the kid. If you want to have a teaching moment with the kid, tell the kid that is inappropriate to say in class (or game) and move on. If you want to punish the kid, do it when you hear it! Reflection table (classroom) or technical (game).

In the OP, the kid learns that if a ref asks a question, he may or may not be punished, so when asked, lie! Now that's a lesson for a kid from an authority figure!

I haven't been in a classroom in a few yrs and have never heard of this. Can you enlighten me on what this is (seriously) and at what ages it's used.

Thanks.

It's new age mumbo jumbo that elementary (I hope) schools are fond of now.

My kid has to "take a break" if she's being naughty. She says some wacky pledge ("I will not use my hands or my words for hurting myself or others") after the Pledge of Allegiance every day.

But "reflection table" probably tops everything I've heard come out of my kid's school, which is a real feat.

RichMSN and grunewar,
We use a behavior matrix to discipline the students in the event they are inappropriate on campus. Part of the matrix is a 5 min reflection time separate from the classroom to answer three questions. This gives time for the student and teacher to gather themselves before engaging each other again regarding the incident. The effectiveness is documentation is created for later use during parent conferences and/or suspension times. This also avoids the challenging times between student and teacher. Thanks for asking.

A behavior matrix? You're making fun of me now, aren't you?

HAHA, no really. Types of behavior and level of consequence for each level.
