It's is completely inappropriate and cruel and a notice should be added to this teachers folder as evidence of a habitual problem should these lapses in judgment continue....and although I seriously doubt the children need therapy, I can understand how being presented with this "awards" in front of their classmates would be somewhat traumatizing. |

I sure would love to hear the "other side" of this story.. 6th graders can be big pains in the ass. If the teachers involved are "good" teachers.. I would tend to think this kid had it coming.. other than that, we'll all just have to speculate.
Sometimes when a kid is being a horses' ass, you have to call them on it |

Children should never have it coming. If they cut-up, you punish them, you don't hold a grudge until the end of the year then publicly humiliate them in front of the whole class....that's a sign of someone with their own problems. I'm not suggesting these teachers should be punished or reprimanded in any way what so ever. They should simply be told to refrain from such activity in the future...their boss doing his or her everyday job and taking extra note of the particular problems each of his employees displays. |

I still don't get the "have children" one so I can't comment on its cruelty, but a "Sir Clowns a lot award" isn't exactly "humiliating."

When my 18 y/o son was in sixth grade at Evangel and it was time for their graduation, we (the parents who organized graduation) let the students in the classes vote on several "awards" for the students. There was one award per student. The awards were things like "Most Likely to Suceed", "Most Likely to be a Doctor, "Most likely to marry a Hollywood Star", "Most likely to be a rocket scientist" and etc. You get the idea. The awards were all on the positive side and none of them poked fun at anyone. Each student received an award at graduation and they were so excited to see which one they won. It was a positive experience for all even the boys and girls who were trouble makers all year long.
My whole point is there is a time and place for everything and some things have no place. Humiliating the point or even giving the merest hint of humiliation was unnecessary. If the boy was a behavior issue, he should have been dealt with at the appropriate time and not like this. None of us would like our children being treated that way and you know it.

I swear, I don't see the big deal. Heck, the kid might even had thought it was funny "at the time" joking around.. then momma finds out about it and has the freakin' fit.. ?? who knows ? Both my boys have a very good sense of humor.. I guarantee something like this wouldn't find them coming home complaining about it.. but joking about it. I will say, this is all dependent on the "Delivery/context" etc.. which we all know nothing about. |

And saying you'll never have children isn't "exactly" calling someone ugly or impotent either... |
