I don’t want to name it but it’s in Hartford county! My son has been here since pre-k and this is the first complaint we’ve ever had with the school district. They normally do everything right and are very progressive so it’s disappointing that I even have to look into this issue!

I would definitely set up a meeting with the teacher first, then the principal, then the super intendant if you don’t get them to stop doing this. There is SO much research showing why this is counterintuitive to getting kids to ‘behave’ and I can’t see how frustrating that seems.

Being the squeaky wheel is key! Definitely mention it to other parents casually and see what they think.

Adding to this, after going up the chain, and you get no results, try putting the school on blast on FB in parenting groups for that school and then contact the media as well as your state representative.

I also have kids in Hartford County schools. Might you be willing to PM me the name of the school or even the town?
