Had in-school suspension once in high school. I threw a tennis ball at a wall for 2 hours. Drove the faculty so crazy that they sent an assistant in to tell me to just gtfo and go to class.

There was a kid who use to write a bunch of punish work in his spare time and sell it. At first I was worried that the teachers would notice it wasn't my handwriting, but people use to buy it from him all the time so I ended up just doing that.

Nothing says I didn't really get the message like finding a way to cheat on your punishment.

I got in trouble a lot

Only at Stanislaus, and they made me copy bible passages. We did have the option to take the strap, which I typically did so I could just go back to sleep.

I went to 6 or 7 schools before graduating high school, and that was the only place

Yes and I refused to do so which ultimately led to me repeating the fourth grade. Boy those teachers really showed me.

My 8th grade history teacher was real big on writing lines. She would give them out in multiples of 50.
I will never forget it.

In middle school I got punish work for something and the first time I turned it in, evidently I forgot to capitalize something so she told me I had to do it over.. So I went ahead and did it over.. I turned it in and she told me to redo it because I forgot a comma somewhere.

I had to write out a few paragraphs a bunch of times so It was just small mistakes. It wasn't like I made the same mistake each time, she actually looked through it all as if she was trying to find something wrong. When she told me I had to rewrite it because I forgot a comma, I told her I was not doing it again. She started telling me some shite like "you will do exactly what I tell you to do" so I told her something like "well I guess we will see tomorrow" and she started screaming at me that if I didn't have her punish work the next day I would be sorry, etc.. She was an English teacher that ended up only teaching one year, her contract didn't get renewed because there were many complains about her..

Anyway, so the next day she ask for the punish work and I said something like "what did I tell you yesterday?". She went crazy and started telling me how I should respect her because she was a teacher and that my parents must be horrible because of the way they raised me. I waited for her to shut up and started telling her that she has to be the dumbest teacher ever for thinking my parents are horrible just because I will not continue to do the worthless, time-wasting punish work over and over while I had other homework. I said some other stuff that was evidently "harsh", I dropped an f bomb as well, but she started to cry.

She sent me to the office and made two other kids go with me. One of them told me that she wanted him to tell her if I said anything bad about her. The principal gave me this lecture and called my parents. The principal told my mom he was going to make me go apologize and assign me punish work that would be turned in to him. I told him I was not apologizing because I wasn't sorry for anything I did. My mom had to talk to me and talked me into just telling her I was sorry just to be done with it. I went back to class and told her I apologized but only because I was told to do so and that I didn't regret anything I said. It ended up getting me suspended for 2 or 3 days. And I didn't have to do any punish work so I was happy.

It was a long time ago but for some reason I can still picture that teacher sitting at her desk with this horrifying look on her face just yelling at me like she couldn't control herself.

My son is in 2nd grade. A few weeks back I went to his school and ate lunch with him. About half way through lunch one of the teachers just absolutely lost her shite and started screaming at all of the kids to be quiet. Now these kids weren't screaming. It's what you would expect 150 kids to sound like all talking and laughing in one room.

After we were through eating, he went to recess and I went to the office and asked if that was common for teachers to scream at kids like that. I told them O don't scream at my son at home and I don't see any reasonable reason for teachers to do it at school. Kind of scary to me that people blow a gasket in such a public place as a primary school and not a single other teacher went over and talked to her.

It depended on the teacher and the infraction. It was writing sentences or the paddle. And a note home to parents that had to be signed.

You flunked 4th grade, repeated it and now 15 years later you still think you won? Sounds like you needed to repeat more than one grade.

I was a regular at saturday school during middle and high school. We'd have to copy down short stories for the first two hours, and then clean up the school grounds for the second two hours.

Another stupid form of punishment. My 5 y.o. absolutely LOVES working on her Grammer. She does it everyday at home, in the car, etc. If that would be used as a form of punishment shed probably hate it, and in turn hamper her development.

People back in the day were lazy as frick when it came to disciplining kids. When my kids misbehave we come up with a form of punishment that tries to make them understand why what they did was wrong. It's usually never the same and specific to that particular circumstance.

ok, short story. I am older than most of ya'll, so My teacher asked what we should get a student for his b-day ( i was in the 4th grade). I immediately responded " a N-shooter" not really thinking anything about it. My teacher, who happened to be black disapproved of my comment, strangely enough. I had to go home and write the defintiion on the n word 100 times.
