This story made me laugh

Ah, this story brought back such fond memories of when I was in school and got into trouble for talking too much. I got in trouble for this ALL the time and looking back, deserved it. But in the insane PC/ultra sensitive world we live in, this teacher got in trouble for trying to discipline a "talker". This story cracks me up for this reason: when I was in 6th grade, my home-room teacher put my desk out in the hall in order to get me away from all the other kids I was distracting by my incesant chatter. I was in the hall, but right in front of the open door so could still particiapte in our lesssons. I was definitely pretty embarressed, but did not consider it "creul and unusual" and no one told my parents. Nothing about this incident has turned me into a maladjusted adult. This kid should grow a backbone - he was humiliated? What a baby! Back in my day, sure, I was embarressed, but didn't feel like it was the end of the world. The parents in this story really need to lighten up and chill out!!
