I initially presumed that the names in the last picture, in column 7 (or 7/8) are supposed to be the names of the teacher administering the punishment, in lieu of remarks about the punishment. There would seem to be little point in entering the name of the punished pupil in columns 2 and 7. However, you may be correct that they are in fact the pupils’ names written by them. One would not expect teachers to use the given name and surname format as some of these entries do.
