Taking it a bit too far?
My brother (one of them, at least) and his class left a mess in the lunch room at school. Nothing really bad, just some trash on the floor. Normal stuff I'd expect grade one students to do.
He's currently filling out a "problem solving report" in the kitchen. Everyone in the lunch room had to take one home to show their parents and fill out, explaining why making a mess is a bad thing and how they could prevent such problems from happening in the future.
For crap's sake, is taking things a little far. When I was his age (late 80's/early 90's), we didn't have any form BS. If there was a messy lunch room, either nothing happened, the teachers talked to us or the school sent notes home explaining what happened and had the parents talk to their kids.
I could see forms being used with older students, but these kids are 5, 6 and 7 years old. They should not have to do paperwork like that at their age. Talk to the kids. I think that oral communication works better then written communication at that age.
