But seriously, this is not appropriate. The kid very likely was being disruptive and the teacher could have used a lot of different options for dealing with it including kicking him out of class. But there is no way that rallying a bunch of kindergartners to vote him out of class was the right thing to do! You don't turn children against each other to make a point! What a moron.
I agree, which is why I said that the teacher should have gone about it in a much different way.

But the end result should still be the same with the kid removed from class, if they were being disruptive.
