The reason for the need to change his behavior is understandable...the way they did it was wrong. Three days out of school was not the proper "time-out" that the school should have chose. Those days are probably not "aversive" to him...they are probably considered a reward contingency. They should have instead introduced some aversive condition immediately following the behavior that did not take him out of the classroom setting. My Behavior Psychology professor will have a fit when I tell her what these teachers did to correct the behavior. She hates stupid people like those at that school.
By the way, I say that some sort of response to decrease his behavior was understandable to me because I do not know many parents who care to have their children kissed, groped, or anything like that even from other children that do not understand what they are doing. It is still a violation to the one being "harrassed". My five-year old daughter was really mad when a six year old boy kissed her, and she hit him in the mouth with a fist that any father would be proud of to see his daughter form.
