Very interesting to read how the views differ between those who have kids and those who don't. I don't have kids of my own, so I can't really say how I would feel if I were the mother in that situation.
But for those of you who think that it's not ok to restrain a 5 year old in that way, I'm just curious... What would YOU suggest the teacher should have done? This is a serious question, as I often wonder how teachers today are supposed to handle out of control kids when verbal discipline doesn't work, and they won't dare lay a finger on an unruly child for fear of a lawsuit or losing their job. You all seem to think it's not ok to restrain a child as a last resort, but none of you have any good solutions as to what SHOULD have been done. And don't tell me "time out", cause I know exactly how that would go over for a kid in "uncontrollable mode". (Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I haven't been around plenty.)
