That makes me sad. If you excluded my child from the brain break and physical activity of recess because she lashed out with her words, I'd have her removed from your class and you and I would have a conversation with your boss about child development and appropriate behavioural expectations of you and the students in your class.

@BeautiyRose96 I'm not at all saying you're bad teacher. I don't know that kids background I wasn't in your classroom. I'm trying to suggest that you could have reacted differently.
Keeping that kid in from recess possibly resulted in the opposite of your desired outcome [a kid who feels not heard and operates in fear of punishment vs a kid who feels validated and intrinsically motivated to exhibit respectful behavior as they were modeled respect].
Keeping that kid in from recess didn't give them a brain break, didn't give them a chance to run around and burn off some of the energy, didn't give her a chance to be loud and get her wilds and wiggles out. She didn't get to socialized and vent to a friend. She didn't give her a chance to reset her head from her clearly not cool behavior.
She needs a break so that she could go back into learning mode.
Keeping a kid in from recess makes them feel isolated from and treated differently than from their peers (even if they are acting undesirably).
If she was being disrespectful, I guess I'd rather see someone take her aside for a moment and just talk out what is going on. Easier said in principle than in practice.
I'm sorry to have come across as attacking you.
