Is it okay for a teacher to say "Stop flirting with so-and-so" to a student?
There were tons of responses from mothers saying it should only be done in private, and it's embarrassing to students.
Yes, it is embarrassing. Isn't that the point? The embarrassment ends the behavior.
Am I the only one that thinks shame and embarrassment are fine tactics? I'm not talking excessive amounts here, but the occasional comment and guilt trip are fine in my book. Does anyone else remember the Texas jails that issued the pink jumpsuits? It worked.
I was raised by guilt. My only lasting consequences are my unnecessary apologizes.
It makes me feel like I belong in a Puritan society. Scarlet As are a way better deterrent than prenups.

When I taught middle school, I did say that more than once to certain students. It depended on who it was and the situation at the time. It got giggles and then they would get to work. I don't see anything wrong with it!
