No corporal punishment is ever administered to any child in our school. When a child misbehaves and he needs a little discipline or time to think about what he/she has done, we use the “time-out” method. The child has a few minutes to sit in a special place alone – either on the “sad chair” in the classroom or on the step outside the Staff room if it is during playtime. After a few minutes the teacher then speaks to the child and he goes off to play. The child is encouraged to think about what he has done and in this way to exercise self-discipline and self-control.
One rule stands firm: no child should be permitted to harm another or to hurt himself or damage property.
