Yes, I'm not a parent but like, if you punish kids who act out or act up by taking away their break, their chance to utilize their energy, their time to be social, you're just going to keep getting "bad" behavior. And I feel like we should all know that kids get punished for all sorts of reason. Y'all assuming these are just violent or disrespectful kids maybe went to really good schools where you didn't get in trouble for any little thing 🤷‍♀️ I sure didn't.

No one WANTS to take recess away from kids. But seeing as how parenting isn't being done at home, and schools have very limited ways to punish kids otherwise, it seems like a very reasonable way to handle this situation. As is almost always the case, be a goddamn fucken adult, and parent your crotch fruit.

No, projecting your loneliness upon strangers is fucking weird and unhealthy. Normal people strike up conversations and make friend that way. Not tell strangers I'm lonely pls be my friend.

This is not that crazy of a concept really. Stranger walks up to me and says I'm lonely and tells me their issues, I'm going the other way.

Just sent you a message. I run a BJJ school in Prospect. Jiu-jitsu has done wonders for my mental health and has filled my life with a ton of great people. It's not for everyone but if it's something that piques your interest feel free to drop in!

besides being bad for the kids, the school is shooting itself in the foot.

instead of letting kids go outside and blow off steam, get fresh air and generally reboot, they keep them cooped up inside where they'll get more fidgety and act up.
