We are talking about a 2nd grader. The incident will be forgotten by classmates in a week, tops.

A 7th grader would be a different story.

Bullshit. I was humiliated in kindergarten because the teacher didn't believe I could read. She said she didn't allow liars in her classroom. I was so embarassed I was unable to read in class when they started teaching the other students to read. I would get scared and freeze up. So the school thought I had a reading deficiency and stuck me in special ed. I had no problems reading there since the risk of humiliation didn't exist. When I was in the 3rd grade, they decided to test me to check my progress. According to the test results, I could read at 10th grade level. Of course, they took me out of special ed at that point, but the damage was done. I was bullied on a daily basis because I had been in special ed. The bullying continued for years until I dropped out of school. For years, I refused to attend college because I was terrified of public speaking, a required course. The point I'm trying to make is, humiliation does lead to bullying and an inferiority complex. I know from personal experience.

I saw a situation unfold in grade school to a fellow student.  He was timid in personality but still socialized and was nice, until one day in Grade 1 when the witch of a teacher gave him such a huge yelling (for incorrectly cutting shapes out and ruining his project) that he became terrified of the woman.  Developed a stutter from there and could not get along with most people for years until high-school where he was with one of the more "outcast" groups.  I've no idea what happened to him since, but he will most likely carry that over to his adult life now. 

So I have to smirk when I read all this macho "get thick skin" bullshit.

No, humiliation CAN lead to it. That's your experience: it's not going to be everyone's, by any stretch of the imagination.

It happened to me and you saw it happen to one of your classmates. I wonder how many others experienced similar situations. Schools are getting tougher on students getting bullied by peers and that's a good thing. But something also needs to be done about teachers bullying students that aren't old enough to know how to defend themselves. Teachers humiliating students in front of their peers should be grounds for immediate dismissal as well as permanently revoking their licenses.

This is true. You know, when I was in kindergarten, I wasn't exactly well behaved... at all. And oftentimes, that would lead to punishment. Most common was sitting in the front of the class and having to watch quietly as everyone else did some fun activity.

I don't think you have the first clue how hard it is for teachers who's hands are tied in every direction by government and parents all the while trying to teach those little snot nosed fuckers a little something.

quote:

Well, not a single child of mine was fine with being told off, they all hated it and it upset them all. Being told to *Be QUIET* in front of the whole school was embarrassing but if you're chittering and chattering, as a 7yr old in the WRONG circumstances, it's hardly the fault of the adults in charge of the situation...unless they stood up and damned you to eternal hell in some bizarre scene.

She told me she NEVER struck or humiliated a student.

there was a difference between being humiliated and being embarrassed.

It's not only possible, it's true. When I was old enough to explain what happened, how it made me feel, and my resulting fear she was outraged. I learned how she felt about teachers humiliating students. There's no way she did that. She was too opposed to it.
