Punishment in School
When I was in school, I had detention several times. I had in-school suspension for two days. I was swatted twice.
What was the worse punishment you ever received in school?

No punishments come to mind -.-
Almost got expelled in second grade for telling a girl she was lucky I couldn’t punch her on the nose.
I got kicked out of a reform school.
That took some doin’.
how about.. flunking a paper ….
detention. i talked too much
lol I had more Saturday detentions than I care to recall. (I skipped class a dozen or so times during my senior year.) I lived about 3 miles from school and(even in the dead of winter) there was NO WAY my mom would drive me there at 8am haha.
oh, and there was that one time I slashed a guy’s tires and got 5 days’ suspension…
detention….for using the bathroom. ridiculous right?
I don’t think I ever even got detention.
I didn’t get in trouble much. The worst thing was when I drew a picture on my desk so I had to stay after school and clean every desk. boo…
I got my ass whooped and my head slammed on the desk by Mrs.Main for singing “Mrs.Main is a pain” in the echoing bathroom in the Kindergarten wing.
as in ‘crashed’ in drivers ed, what I mean is I slept thru it.
I guess I lost my blog. I got expelled twice from HS for leaving campus during the day (auto expulsion). my parents had to go thru superintendent of schools to get me back in. second time was not pretty.
wrote on a boys arm in jr. high. cuss words about a teacher. my parents were called in. the teacher cried, it all sucked.
barely graduated HS for being too stoned to pass first period drivers ed. was too stoned. could not stop laughing when unable to parallel park.
I was a good kid, I only had in-school twice.
I don’t remember if I got in trouble for pushing a boy in 2nd grade. I think the teacher might have been too distracted by his crying from hitting his head on a drawer corner on the way down. I just remember being mad at him for crying and for not getting off the Twister mat in the first place.
I was a good kid. I only got detention ONCE and that was for being late.
Which I totally had a good excuse for! I got into an accident on the way! But since I didn’t have the police ticket the lady didn’t excuse it. Pfft.
@yaneznayu - They punished you for that?! Gosh what next? breathing too loudly? haha What happened? Did you lose the hall pass? I know they’re strict about that in my old school. They had a guy video tape the hallway during class & whoever was caught on camera had Saturday school. He would chase after kids & pull their bookbag down to see who it was. LOL. Whenever I went to the bathroom & passed by the camera I would hold up the pass & wave.
I just dont see the need for teachers to yell to try & beat the sound barrier. Public humiliation isnt necessary. I mean what kind of “adult” are you if you’re screaming at a little kid to make them feel like shit & build yourself up? That happened to me more times than I care to remember in my elementary-middle school days. The worst was when we were in 6th grade reading class (I went to Catholic school back then) & we were passing books back down the row as the teacher passed them & the teacher called out our names to ask what book number we had for reference & I told her I didnt have one because my row was short one. Then this bitch SNAPPED! I mean she was full on screaming & walking around & pointing at me asking me how intelligent did I have to be to get a book then got in my face & called me Stupid. Everyone was shocked. She was literally working for an Oscar or something, it was echoing in the hall with the door closed.
The kicker was when my mom came to school the next day & told my principal, she called the bitch over immediately & asked her in the crowded hallway if it was true & she denied it. And my class was there & they ALL said she did because they heard her. Then bitch tried to rationalize it saying she was stressed & that whole row causes problems. Both my mom & the principal told her if she tried that crap again, she would be in trouble. It’s not so nice when you’re on the other side of the table.
I spent a lot of time in the principal’s office during fourth grade. The reason: I was too introverted. The principal thought he could scare me into being an extrovert or something. As it’s a brain-wiring issue and not an issue of not wanting to be gregarious, it didn’t work.
Put into the corner in first grade.
I’m a good kid.
I came very close to being swatted once, but never did.
So I guess detention is the worst I got.
Although my third grade teacher used to put on bright red lipstick and kiss us on the forehead to embarass us if we were being unruly. Couldn’t get by with that these days.
Psh. I’m a good student
And by that, I mean that I’m too much of a wuss to do anything bad.
I got a “study table”which is when we have to stay after school in the library and do homework for two hours. You get it for missing three assignments in one week (in all your classes). But that was only once. I was the goody-two-shoes student. I never did anything bad.
I didn’t do anything wrong.
Ummm…having notes written to my parents because I told other people to stop talking to me in class (I love how I got in trouble for one sentence while the other girl who was talking for a while got in no trouble)…having my dad called because I was actually carrying on conversations in computer class…and being told to sit against a wall because my teacher thought I was talking during a test because other people were talking around me and I pointed at one of them for some strange reason.
I love how all of these involve talking in class. But yeah, I never really got in trouble at school. I don’t like getting in trouble so I kind of avoided anything that would give me a detention.
I think I had one detention and that was all. I remember in 4th grade seeing a few boys being pulled off by their ear by the teacher, haha.
Suspension for one day. Lol and that was a one time get into trouble kind of deal.
@Shinbi_Belldandy - No Child Left Behind now actually has a part that says that teachers can’t let their students go to the bathroom too often. I think the rule is 2 passes for every 9 weeks. After those two passes the teacher cannot give out another one without someone getting in trouble. Even if the student really needs to go (people have wet their pants because of the rule…in high school). Maybe her school was the inspiration for this stipulation?
We were hit with a ruler in elementary school. This was in the early 1980′s. Back then, there was discipline. Nowadays, teachers are afraid to even SAY something that might offend children’s delicate ears. Not even parents are supposed to smack their kids. I say bullshit.
Had my knuckles hit with a ruler, ouch! And paddled with something similar yo the paddle in your pic. Also had a science teacher where we had rabbits in the room and we would have to clean up their poop, which she called raisins.
@funny_guydude - This is too good to miss. Tell us about the strange sexual urges you’ve been plagued with since this erotic abuse. If you haven’t got any, invent some, but don’t let this opportunity pass whatever you do.
I was homeschooled. So . . . I guess being spanked and having my computer privileges revoked, usually because of arguing with my younger sister.
@Shinbi_Belldandy - no it was in exchange for whatever “study” time i lost while i was at the bathroom. stupid.
thats the first time i heard of something like that
hahaha how old school
A detention. That I didn’t go to. Then they said I had to. and I said no.
The end.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - so you were beat with a ruler. That explains it.
@PervyPenguin - ive always thought thats just straight out creepy. reminds me of the blair witch project….dunno, just doesnt float my boat
i was never physically punished but i was thrown out of school in kindergarden. The kids made fun of me cause i was asian so i threw crayons and cardboard blocks at all them. Then proceded to kick the teacher and secretary and principle to the floor.
haha.. wow
I will not pass notes in class.
I will not pass notes in class.
I will not pass notes in class.
I will not pass notes in class.
…etc.
@ShimmerBodyCream3 - And you weren’t? Well then that REALLY explains a lot.
I’ve never been punished by the school. And not by my parents since I was, like, 5. I’m a boring person.
Detention in second grade because I forgot a packet.
I was homeschooled K-12, so my school punishments and disobeying-mom-and-dad punishments were the same. Usually the good ol’ wooden spoon.
I cut class once and paid dearly for it. I was dishonored and banished from my homeland. Sent on a voyage across the desert, with little water and no food. All in an attempt to make me learn my lesson. I spent three years out there, fending for myself. I learned to hunt with my bare hands. I learned to defend myself from the elements. I became much more. From a boy to a man. Hardened and grizzly, I sought my revenge. The day when I found the ones who banished me, stripped me of my honor, and cast me away like a dog would come soon enough. And it did!
I learned my lesson, though. It’s not good to cut class. You miss out on a lot of stuff when you do.
@rafi09 - That’s so stupid. It’s just as dumb as extending school days. I’m all for education & I love school dont get me wrong. It’s not the amount of time you have, it’s what you do within that time. I’ve been in classes where more than half didnt do well & it was because of the teacher & we all complained but they took it out on the students because they were too cheap or lazy to get a different teacher. Taking a 5 minute bathroom break wont make someone less intelligent.
Honestly I think sometimes it’s how teachers deliver the material. They should take student surveys in high school to help improve things. You can differentiate someone who says they hate the teacher to just be a pain from someone who genuinely paid attention & thinks the teacher can change something. There have been times I missed weeks of school at a time but I kept up my average with hard work & help from teachers. In my junior year though, my english teacher tried to fail me because “I skipped school too much”. So my mom had to write a note like I was 6 to explain why & why we were going to the board of ed because he didnt call to say anything about it so he dropped the issue.
@yaneznayu - Gosh, that’s crazy. I remember once my teacher made me stay after because I pissed her off for something so stupid I cant even remember. Can you imagine sitting in an empty class with the wicked witch of the west for 20 minutes? eeeww.
@saintvi - I hated those. Did you write each line individually or do “I” straight down, then “will” straight down? That’s how we made it go faster. I typed & printed a punishment once & the teacher was like “I said to WRITE it out, not press 5 & give me 5 copies!”. I said “I had to go to file first, select print, THEN press 5 & print”. I still ended up writing it. -.-;
@Shinbi_Belldandy - I agree, there should be more ways to make sure a teacher can teach well. I’m hoping that I don’t become that type of teacher who can’t reach out to different students. Your English teacher shouldn’t have even had the right to try to do so…it’s up to the administration to determine if you’ve been gone for too long without reason, not him. Yay for you and your mom fighting against it. But you shouldn’t have had to fight at all.
I think the bathroom break thing may be to make up for how much time the tests mandated by NCLB are taking from the curriculum. It’s like they’re saying “Hey, we’re forcing your teachers to take time from teaching you what they think you should know to what we think you should know and to making sure that you know how to take tests that we’re going to take time away from you so as to give back your teachers 5 more minutes of class”. If a teacher doesn’t know how to continue teaching while a student goes to the bathroom or how to make sure that the student is caught up on what he/she missed, then that person should not be teaching.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Yes. Yes it does. I think the take home lesson is don’t beat children with random objects.
@ashiri7016 - Actually study table isnt bad. I mean…you’re so bored you have to do your homework so the time goes by. LOL. That’s what I did during free periods. I liked it because I could have more free time at home, especially as a sophomore because I had the last lunch of the day. The schools I went to were awesome with those. If you had last lunch or a free, you could leave school so most of that semester, I went home an hour early. Then in my junior year, some kids only went to school for half the day & they left in a huge crowd, so sometimes I followed them & played like I was done for the day (they didnt check) & I would get the bus or train home. Once my parents were there & said the substitute said we could just leave (9 times out of 10, the sub just babysits anyway so you just sit & talk for 45 minutes).
I got detention once in high school b/c by then I was smart enough not to get caught or to talk my way out of it. In Jr High School I got in school suspension, I had to sit in the circle (kind of like sitting in the corner only hotter b/c it was outside in the middle of the day), I had to write sentences, and I can’t remember what else but I am sure there were more things.
Detention…I wanted an ice cream cone.
@Shinbi_Belldandy - your school sounds like hell x_x
I got stood down last year.
It was a blessing, like a holiday in Venice.
@ShimmerBodyCream3 - Duly noted, oh, you superior one. ::grin::
My worst punishment was having to attend!
@yaneznayu - No no! My school was AWESOME! It was just those 2 bitches of teachers that were mean. I missed it when I graduated but I certainly didnt miss those teachers. haha! I some of my best friends in that school.
@rafi09 - Maybe if we have more than 5 minutes to get to class it would help. There have been times where I never went to bathroom during the school day, except in gym class because you never have enough time or the teacher wont let you. I went a few times between class changes & I was maybe 2 or 3 minutes late but I never make a scene coming into class, I would open & shut the door quietly & sit down & get ready. If the teacher or a guard stopped me, I explained why I was late. They go overboard with alot now in schools. Maybe if the metal detection lines went faster, we could have more time to learn!
detention… which is utterly pointless…
I was paddled one time. In school suspension once… and a butt load of detentions. Where (and when) I went to school, you got detention for not doing your homework… so, I had it a lot. Now I assign homework… hah.
I had detention a couple of times throughout HS, but I never got suspended or anything. >:D
I can’t think of any. Plus I wasn’t really in high school enough to get punished..
None. I was a “good kid”, haha. =p
Oh wait, I remember getting yelled at by my teacher in the first grade because I punched a girl in my class…. She made fun of my friend’s dog of something, lol.
Getting homework once a week that was the worst LMFAO
in all seriousness i would have to say it was in house suspension for having a picture of a gangster with a gun on my binder during school….. it was *UCKING RETARDED!!!!!
@MomGoneMadd - Sounds like Mrs Main… brought the pain.
Worst I ever got in school was detention for being late to school. And even that mortified me! I was a goody two shoes.
By the way, is it me or is the end of that paddle… stained?
I almost got expelled once, for telling off a bus driver (who in turn told the school’s principal some bullshit story about me that got her fired when the shit hit the fan.)
Saturday MORNING detention in high school. Total bummer.
Eating in the cafeteria.
I had detention once when I was in the fourth grade. I’d forgotten my homework. I honestly felt like the world was ending and the room was crashing down on top of me. And once in sixth grade, my teacher threatened me with suspension and called my mom at work to make sure she had signed my report card and not me, because our handwriting was nearly identical.
never got punished at school
None. I was totally the goody goody.
When I was in kindergarten, I had to get a note signed by my mom saying that I was a bad student that day and misbehaved.
I cried for like a week and hated my teacher from then on >.<
Detention. But my teacher was a moron and I just wiped my name off the board while she was out of the classroom. She forgot.
I got after school detention once and in school detention once.
I punished the school.
One teacher in our school used to keep the whole class in for two minutes if the periods were before break, lunch and after school.
I should have a detention for not doing my homework once but somehow I got away with it.
Also I should not being posting this as I am lucky to attend school, but sometimes having to go to school some days were punishing enough by the bullies.
public humiliation (being put on the spot).
The worst punishments I ever received in school were from my peers because I spoiled their immature pranks on the teachers and younger students.
I was awesome that way.
ummm I guess ISS for 1 period for being tardy. If you were late to school, they sent you to in school suspension for the remainder of the class, instead of letting you interrupt your class by coming in late.
A note in the class-register for throwing tic tacs to my friend during a lesson.
Detention, which wasn’t bad at all.
Truancy. Never had a detention, suspension, ISS, or anything. Just truancy. And credit restoration.
I was the shy quiet kid.
No detention or punishments for me!
i got detention for eating a muffin in the hallway. yea. not cool.
I was suspended or truant so many times my senior year that both the principal and I lost count. She was worried that I had missed to many school days to graduate, which wouldn’t have phased me in the least.
@darkoozeripple - Only one of my classsmates went on a crazed shooting spree through town killing multiple people. So for the most part we made it out of elementary school ok.
I did not get into trouble in school, nor did my 6 siblings. We feared the wrath of our mother.
When I was in 3rd grade, my mother came to school one day to register 2 of my brothers for school. When I saw her, I wanted to go home, so I ran off the school grounds. Not soon after I left, Ms Brown, the assistant principal drove up next to me and asked me to come back to school,she promised I wouldnt be punished. I believed her and we went back to the school and into the principals office. There was the principal, Eugene Gilhooly swatting a paddle into his other hand, waiting for me ( he was known to have a full wall of paddles, the one he used alot had a picture of a little girl and boy with their backs turned, looking into a wishing well and it said ” never smack a child on the hands or face, nature provides a better place”). He used it on me, and every time he hit me, I cussed him out,lol. Our school was L shaped. From the first grade hall to the 6th grade, they heard me…. I was very popular at that school after that because I was known as ” the girl that cussed out the principal”
nothing :]
Name on the board for talking or forgetting my books. Throughout my school years I always tried hard to obey the rules. The downside? No funny stories for my future kids.
I attended a boys Catholic boarding school run by nuns from the age of 4 till 10. Don’t ever think nuns are sweet religious women.. They are the most sadistic people I’ve ever come across. They beat us for the slightest reason. They also had torture to keep you in line.. such as pulling your ear to make you stand up on tip toe for 10 mins or more until your ear would rip & bleed. They would also pull your penis until you would scream with pain. Stamp on your toes as hard as they could. I hated bathtime they would make you get into a scolding hot bath. Then when drying you off they would try to get you a woody by jerking you off. This when we were only 5 to 8 years old. When we were going home for vacation they would threaten us with worse the next term if we said anything to our parents.
In Kindergarten I was spanked for talking to my imaginary friend during class. I was going to a Christian school at the time too.
Detention a few times, but I was never really one to act out…
My teachers used to put kids out in the blistering, summer sun with their arms extended out holding heavy books on both sides and I saw a teacher break a ruler on a kid’s hand once too.

Grade school? Out of school suspension, in school suspension, and a few detentions. But, I also got expelled from the first college I went to… long story haha.
Detention.
Bamboo to the bum.
That happens when you talk in class while the teacher’s talking. In Vietnam, in case you’re wondering. After that, I transformed into a goody-two-shoes. Can’t understand why there’s no punishment in America for a kid talking back to the teacher.
Ruler across the knuckles in 2nd grade.
You mean other than having to go in the first place?
Aside from the suspension part, your school record about mirrors mine.
I was banned from the slides on the playground in first grade because some kid broke his arm when he fell off of one and tried to say I pushed him off of it because I was the only other person on the slide with him. Little liar…..
A girl I liked made me cry.
