Do you think teachers sending a kindergarten student out of the classroom is too harsh?

When I was working at a school before I resigned, there was a kid that would scream and shout at teachers when things do go his way. He would cuss at us and the teacher would tell him to get out. She angrily said, “Get out! Out of my classroom NOW.”
She would take him out and sit outside with him. Of course we would never let a kindergartner sit outside by themselves. So the other 3 staff including me continued the lesson. I asked the other two staff don’t they think telling a five year old to get out of the class is a bit harsh but they disagreed. One said, “No it’s not because one, he disrupted the class, two, he’s being disrespectful and three no matter what age, kids need to be taught a hard lesson. You gotta be tough on them.”
The teacher is one of the most sweetest most kindhearted people you ever meet but she isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and she is SAVAGE. She can get “mean” when it’s necessary and not afraid to throw that tough love and telling them to toughen up. She doesn’t put up crying or whining. If the child was really hurt then she will give them a hug. She is TOUGH for a little lady and she said she’s 4’11”. One time she called the kids out that I was shocked how “mean” and very stern she can get.
Ugh . i used to get harassed by the kindwrgardten teachers and especially first grade teachers because i just couldnt sit still or hush. Sorry but i like to have fun and live life.. I used to be such a good kid.... What happened to me..

She did right. He should not be allowed to disrupt the other kid's learning. Plus he may listen to her better if he doesn't have an audience watching.

@ineedadrink that’s true. My sister is also a teacher and when I asked her the same question she disagreed with me saying that that you did the right thing and you can’t be nice all the time. She told me that why kids don’t listen to me because I’m too nice and gotta throw that tough love sometimes. Being “nice” doesn’t get the work done and I gotta toughen up if I want to be a teacher. She also said I have to harden my heart because I have a very SOFT heart.

@LaylaTheTallGirl Saying "Stop, or I'll be forced to say stop again" doesn't achieve anything in the long run. Actions have to have consequences, good or bad.

@ineedadrink I know that but how do teachers have the courage to call out students and be so savage? When I try to be savage people just look at me and shake their heads. Or some say, “Just stop. You’re not funny.”

You have to learn respect at some point and he cannot be allowed to disrupt the other children's learning experience.

@Fungirlmmm And I understand that and he shouldn’t disrupt other children, but she could have send him to the corner than telling him to get out! Man I had no idea how “MEAN” she can get. The most kindhearted people can get so “mean” and be so blunt.

Kids need to learn to behave. That kid needed a lesson

@Tanya02 Yes I know that but telling a 5 year old to get out of the classroom is pretty harsh. She could have just took his hand and send him out instead of being “mean” and say “Get out! Out of my classroom NOW.” Even my sister sides with the teacher and she’s a teacher herself. I asked her the same question and she said it wasn’t harsh and kids need to be taught a lesson, especially at a young age. Gotta throw that tough love and the teacher’s job isn’t being “nice”.
Not even but she could have stayed calm while doing so.

@Spoiledbrat I agree. I mean she wasn’t aggressive or yelled or anything. She was just fed up and sternly told him to get out. And sad outside with them.
Yea it’s too harsh

@TexasOutlawTrey Thank you! Finally someone agrees with me. She didn’t have to say get out so harshly. She sure does a great job being “mean”. I was old sometimes you have to be mean to get the job done.
@LaylaTheTallGirl what if that kid got napped
LaylaTheTallGirl · 22-25, F
@TexasOutlawTrey right? But there was a teacher that always was with him.
