Obviously I dont know the whole story but he was told off for not sitting still during two lessons - he has been in school 2 weeks and is nearly 4 and a half. His name was written on a board as a naughtly example. Would he really be the only one at that age that wouldnt be able to do it. Also as soon as I picked him up at lunchtime he crouched down on the floor saying he needed to go to the toilet and had tummyache. Maybe this was the reason, don't the teachers ask or do they just expect them to be able to say??

I think it's perfectly normal and acceptable practice. It works too.
I also use it the other way round and have names on the board for something positive. It's amazing how well some reluctant learners take part in a lesson when they know they'll get their name on the board as praise!
