During a classroom observation, you watched a teacher stop a girl who was running around the room and sent her to a chair for timeout. She sat down, watched and waited for about five minutes before the teacher came over and permitted her to go play. During your observation, you noticed the same teachers send two other children to the timeout chair. One child stayed for a few minutes and then left without permission, and the other child was forgotten. Respond to the following: A. How do I feel about the teacher's behavior? B. What strategies do I think would be appropriate? C. Was the teacher's action effective in guiding the children's behavior?

What I think is that the teacher was doing it without all seriousness. Because, if it took it serious he/she would have melted out the same position with the same duration to the students.

I think the teacher should have warned them and told them to punish them if the action is repeated.

No. They will be silent for the period of the punishment and resume to the immediately they are released.
