5 year old points crayon at another student and says "pew pew" - made to sign no kill contract

33. So they were using a "teaching moment"

to explain to a child what is "good behavior and what is not" and "what is appropriate in a given situation"? Did you look at the wording on that document?

If I am having thoughts of harming myself/others or committing suicide/homicide, I will do the following:

Few 5 year olds could even understand those words, let alone the concepts behind them. You really think a 5 year old should be taught about that stuff in the context of playing with crayons? You think that is the equivalent of teaching what is "good behavior or not"?

I think it is pathological on the part of the adults, and I would be livid if it were one of my kids, and would be looking at persuing legal remedies against the school.

I do have some memories of Kindergarten. I remember being hit with a wooden paddle because I suffered from severe early childhood depression, and would not speak when I didn't have a parent present.

I'm sure that they too were handling things very reasonably, however it might have looked to uninvolved adult eyes.
