I agree with the OP, it's as if all children are criminals. Yes, misbehaving children may need to be removed from lessons, but where's the harm in an ordinary classroom or staff office?
Children are children. Obviously. Everyone makes mistakes. We are human. Children misbehave. By eleven, yes we may know what the rules and expectations are, but children break rules naturally. everyone has. Even the people who thought up this extreme punishment will have misbehaved as a child, and would have hated to be put into solitary confinement as these children are.
This is extreme and the children will be scarred from the experience, and the teachers who have to sit in the room will not enjoy the silent loneliness. This is wrong.
