This is a tough one! I currently have 2 children in daycare, and they use time outs as a form of discipline. As a parent, I try to redirect my child's attention and energy when they misbehave. I also have a one-on-one discussion with them about why their actions are not appropriate. However, at school, time outs allow the child to contemplate what happened, what went wrong, and how to behave properly in the future. It also allows the teacher to continue watching/teaching the other students in the class. The part that I am not a huge fan of is that fact that that particular student is being isolated or embarrassed. However, if they are in time out they probably deserve it. :)

Yes he was! His earlier work shows his talent of composition, accuracy of human proportions, perspective, etc. His splatter work shows unique and well thought out color schemes. Plus, he is the first to create that type of painting and therefore deserves the credit and money.

I'll enjoy it once a year but don't think I could eat more than a handful or two per season.
