DS2 is in year 2 and he and a friend put a plastic bottle down the toilet, think his friend then went to the toilet, other kids told on them and they were rightly called to account.
As punishment they were made to fish said bottle out of loo (with latex gloves on).
I am really uncomfortable with this type of punishment and have made my concerns known.
In addition my DS has quite serious anxiety issues around using school toilets which I have been trying to overcome over the past few months. The school are aware of these.
My family, and a childless friend think this punishment is fine ("well he won't do it again will he") which made me think perhaps IABU.
However my gut feeling is it isn't the right way of handling it and crosses a line.
He is generally a well behaved child at school - his teacher confirmed this the other night.
