Made to report to the Head daily Again, if that’s all it entails, where’s the punishment in that?
Given Detention A definite punishment that, in some cases, could be worse than the cane.
Given Extra work to do Another definite punishment. One of the worse. Not only does it take up the pupils free time (much as detention does) but it also could have serious long term negative effects by cause a child to see ordinary school work as a series of undeserved punishments.
Given a good talking to in private Who’s doing the talking? If it were a teacher I liked or really respected, it would be a punishment insofar as my behaviour would be likely to improve as a result. Otherwise, I probably do the same thing again just to annoy that teacher.
