Very strange for teacher to steal lunch........unless she was hungry. Was she hungry?

I support any teacher that tells the kids that sort of thing. I used to tell my own children I would break their arms and legs off and beat them to death with them, when they were naughty. I friend used to say the Boogie man WAS real, and WOULD get them if they were naughty.
Stealing little kids food? Tragic! She was obviously not thinking about her career when she did that. That to me is a clear go back to start, and get a few more skills before being let loose on our kids. Complete reset of values required before coming near children of others again.

Meh! Here is where we (the world) have all gone mental! Children are children. They need and appreciate boundaries and guidelines. They often don't get them at home where they should.
I saw a young dad with a couple of shockingly badly behaved kids, young ones. He threatened them with bodily injury, by a really crazy method, I think it was something to do with kicking them into the middle of next week, if they did not behave.
I also observed him giving the little shits a bit of a bottom hurry up.
I commend him!

The world has gone mental! I would no doubt be serving a lengthy prison term, should I be raising kids in this day and age. Wooden spoon versus backside anyone?
I used to foster kids, never laid a hand on them mind. They can test you to the limit and beyond. You have to be tough on these youngsters.

It depends. I nanny for children from the ages of six to thirteen. Most of the children behave reasonably well. You can confiscate the computer or cellphone as a punishment, which is all very well for a less strong-willed child who may sulk a little bit but accept it. If a child's really out of control and makes up their mind to get their hands on whatever you've taken off of them, and it's not the type of thing (eg, a teddy) that can be locked away, there's no way you can stop them without getting hooked into an argument. I say, there needs to be a consistent system of small rewards and attention for good behaviour, and a consistent way of punishing bad behaviour without engaging in a fight. Like, drawing a black mark on the whiteboard for every time they misbehave, and then taking away one prized possession for every mark. I don't enjoy being sworn at and kicked and sometimes think I could cheerfully use a wooden spoon, but quite apart from it being unprofessional, all it would do is show the child I'm looking after that I've lost control myself.

Infants, and toddlers are not people. They are animals. Purely instinctual. So, the failing of those parents with fucken arsehole children is that they tried to teach at an early age, rather than train. I am talking about the kids who won't do what they're told to about age seven.
Sounds harsh and crude, but I don't know the fancy terms to make it a marketable ideal.
Once a child can reason, the tactics of the parent need to evolve.
Just the musings of someone lucky enough to have two very well behaved teenagers. There will be battles, and they will challenge me and break the rules, they are human after all. But all in all, my philosophy seems to be not too far from the mark.
