Yup. This is a big part fo the reason we're homeschooling. I couldn't feel good about leaving my child with a woman who thought this was a great strategy for dealing with 6yos. :p
Did I mention she had a LOT of behavior problems? And strangely enough, the biggest trouble came from the kids IDd as GT already. (Color me surprised...sarcasm, sarcasm...)
Then I'll post about it!
I think our teachers were separated at birth. This sounds a lot like our teacher and it seemed to be brightest boys often in the most trouble.
There is another teacher at our school that got the threat of a law suit this past year because she left a 2nd grader unattended in the classroom during recess repeatedly. The family got to hand pick a new teacher for their child. They got the best teacher in the school and magically this boy had no behavioral issues in his new class.
