Collective punishment for the entire class based on the actions of one or two kids is lazy on behalf of the teacher/administrator. The only positive to it, it teaches kids at an early age that life is not fair. That teachers and principals (bosses, adults) are not fair, and will do things that are wrong because it is easier for them. This is a good lesson to learn young.

Reminds me of when I got expelled in the 4th grade. I was suspended for a week and I was supposed to work on a group project. Two working parents, I completed all my homework but because of my parents work schedules I could never get it turned in on time. The teacher punished my group-mates as well as me. I really hope that teacher is finally dead now.

Ice cream with extra sprinkles and a chocolate flake.

Grounding her for being right would be foolish.

We all feel that way and yet there are still people out there that insist on doing that. Give the girl ice cream!!!

Ice cream, definitely

If it were me, I‘d talk to the teacher and explain to them that I do not approve of collective punishment. I fully side with the kid.

Dad should buy himself the ice cream for writing it.

Half cursive, half print, it's like some sort of ancient code.

Definitely a big ice cream.

Hey sometimes when you go fishing, you catch a boot. This kid is amazing.

Ground her? Why? For being honest and actually right?

I vote for law school.

Kid's definitely going places.

She'd get anything she wants from me. That girl rocks!

Bro used the war crime card

Banana split. Vanilla, Rocky road, and Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream. Hot Fudge, whipped cream, chopped peanuts, and three maraschino cherries.

ICE CREAM 100%! I like this kid.

While I somewhat disagree based on the lack of background information, I’d get her ice cream. They’re expressing their opinion while causing no harm to themselves or others. With that said, I believe …. If group punishment for the behavior of one is explained correctly, it can build community, foster empathy, and encourage others to hold themselves and their group accountable. If not explained, it’s more likely to breed resentment. Also, unless the kids are being subjected to treatment that violates their human rights, it’s not a war crime. For example, Having to skip recess or miss a field trip isn’t taking away a right, it’s taking away a privilege.

Didn't happen. The fluctuating handwriting and obviously the text is a dead giveaway
