There is nothing like a little humiliation!

So funny! I came into school today and noticed a bunch of boys standing outside with these picket signs. They had been caught smoking, and as a punishment, they were required to create and hold these "No Smoking" posters! It is a really great and creative way to deter students from an addictive habit (I am not sure how well it works because there were about 15 boys up there)! :) Besides this punishment, the teachers create many other interesting punishments to discipline the students. Sometimes a student must stand near his/her desk with both hands raised, or in the back of the class in the torturous Volleyball squat position for 10 minutes. Ouch! At a friend's school, the students had to actually hop like bunnies to their desks because they had come in late! Sometimes the punishments seem extremely embarrasing and sometimes they are a lot of work! Today as I walked out of work, three boys were on their hands and knees scrubbing the floor in bright pink rubber gloves and brushes. It is hilareous what students are being made to do! It makes me smile! :)
