'So many [kids] have attention seekers for parents now': Dad disciplines daughter for cutting second period math class by converting bedroom into 'personal jail cell'

If there is one thing you can guarantee about having kids, it's that they are going to act out sometimes. It's only normal to push the boundaries and rebel, and although it can be a stressful experience for the parents it is important to only respond appropriately. Unfortunately, moms and dads often have very different ideas of appropriate ways to manage the behavior of their children and this can cause its fair share of controversy.

This is exactly what gained attention on Twitter recently after a father chose to punish his daughter for cutting class by turning her room into a 'jail cell'. Removing all the furniture and even giving her a uniform of a T-shirt to wear, viewers were skeptical that this act of discipline would be helpful. If nothing else, it seems a completely disproportionate reaction to missing one class. There have got to be better ways to respond to this.
