The right to remain silent
One day in fourth grade, a kid in my class was misbehaving so atrociously that the teacher, in an act of desperation, enclosed him in a cardboard box on the ground for the rest of the afternoon. At the time, it was hilarious, and it became a sort of mythical story that he and everyone else would tell well into high school and beyond. You know, one of those jokes or memories that come up at a reunion. Thinking about it, it was probably not the best way to treat a child, but he was being downright unruly. I can understand that sometimes teachers just become so exasperated that they decide to break rules/morality to restore some order. Not so in Mississippi, where, in a certain school district, it was all but encouraged to simply incapacitate out-of-line students as a first resort.
