My little brothers math teacher took his classes recess away and know hes depressed what should i do?

Question

I want to make him be undepressed.

Answer 1

Find out what the problem is and help him fix it. Talk to the teacher. Is he not getting his work done so he has to make it up during recess time? Help him get his homework done, or if its classwork, then maybe you could tutor him in the evenings to make sure he's understanding the stuff he's learning in school so he can get his work finished more quickly.

If its a behavior issue, then you need to help him overcome his behavior or let him suffer the consequence. For example, if he's hitting kids on the playground, he doesn't deserve the privilege of having recess with them. If he's shouting out in class, then his teacher is just trying to teach him that he can't do that anymore and he'll probably earn his recess back when he stops doing it.

In order for a teacher to help her kids succeed, the kids have to be held accountable for their behavior and work. Teachers are limited on how to do this, so one of the primary motivators is recess time or being removed from other fun activities. I'm sure his teacher would be very pleased if you helped him EARN his recess time back.

Answer 2

I could be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that it is a law that children have so much time recess, because it is necessary to good health.

If you want an easy way around this, enquire somehow, about the Education Laws regarding lunch breaks, recess etc, and then if I am right, report this teacher..

Having brought up six children I found that there are excellent teachers out there but there are also people who should never be teachers. This is the truth, I found out from the way she was yelling and screaming at the kids, that she really hated children., She was really doing more harm than good.
They fired her.

Then there was another one who used to slap children and bash them against the wall, at one time making a boy bleed. He was reported by many parents, but ten years later he was still teaching at the same school.

Stand up for your children. Just because a teacher tells you something, or lays down rules, like this one, doesn't mean that you cannot challenge them.

Answer 3

Actually by law you dont even have to HAVE recess.

Tell him to encourage the class to not do whatever it was that got the recess taken away. The teacher is obviously using this as punishment...its working. Let it work, its okay for him to be a little upset. If you pamper to his every whim you will have a spoiled, no fun to be around brother very quickly.

Though love is called "tough", not because its hard on the person being punished or taught a lesson, but because its hard for the authority figure to carry out. But its done out love love for the good of the child.

Answer 4

well i would tell the parents, because little kids they need that recess to wear off their energy and it helps them grow. by playing and learning. because that is not right. or go to the teacher and ask the teacher why he/she took the recess away. and if it is because all the children is behaving badly then it was done for a reason. if they did it for no reason. well its dumb..
other than that i really dont know.
good luck

Answer 5

By law they can not take his recess away. Have his parents go to the school and ask to get a copy of the schools disclipline policy. This has a list of everything the school is suppose to do to a child who gets in trouble. If taking away recess is NOT on this list (and it is not) then your parents can stop this and he can have recess again.

Answer 6
