Stop these school rules of punishment on our children


Stop these school rules of punishment on our children
The Issue
It's now time to stop all these silly inappropriate rules being made up by these schools.
Our children are being punished in a way that even a young offenders prison wouldn't do.
RFL (Isolation) for the whole day without having a break, for simple mistakes that human beings will make. Forgetting a pen, wearing white socks, wearing black trainers due to school shoes being broken....
Normal school day finishes at 3pm, however RFL finishes at 3:15pm meaning children are missing their school transport home. For most children this is their only way of transport to get home.
Where does this stop? I 1000% agree with actions to be taken if certain rules are broken for example being rude to the teachers, disrupting lessons, bullying, incomplete work ect.
However to put in a punishment for the simplest of things that even a teacher could do.
Some children are being punished twice and if not more for the same thing... Sometimes it's not the children's fault and may be a parents mistake. Yet the child is still being punished.
This behaviour from these school is causing a high impact on children mental health, no wonder children DON'T want to go to school if they are being punished like this.
We need to make a stand for our children and protect them as best as we can. A school place should be a safe space for them, however it's becoming more of a prison for them.
