I think this could be a really good idea. In elementary school kids are always getting mad at each other for no reason. Instead of being punished students could have time to deal with their emotions and learn how to control their feelings so it is less likely to happen later. It seems that this has already happened in the school mentioned in the article. One child said "When I get mad at something, I take some deep breaths, keep doing my work, and tune everyone out." It is teaching kids early that they need to chill out before totally blowing up. I would like to know what happens when a child is there a lot, maybe if they are trying to get out of class that could be a problem. Other than that I think this is a positive way for students to deal with their emotions and it may even lead to less kids in detention/RTR in high school.
