Do you think teachers in high school should give lines for punishment.

Curiosity has the best of me...
What do you mean by "give lines for punishment"?

I am not even from St. Bess, but I think it means write sentences over and over again. In my days we use to write it in detention.eg. I will not talk in class, I will not talk in class, I will not talk in class. The teacher may say write it 100 times or 50 times.

kelly,i think old principals mean when a teacher gives a student a particular sentence for what he/she has done wrong,to be written over and over again,for like a hundred times or more.
eg.i should always do my home work.

old principals,i dont support giving lines,especially in a high school.

I think they probably mean that the students would be given alot to write as the pages are all drawn up with lines???

curious,do you think that is a good punishment,especially in a high school.

Why not? i don't agree with children been beaten with straps as we used to get. Now that we are all grown we have come to realise that we were been abused by our teachers back then.
Still love the teachers though.

Curious my saying is this why does'nt the past decently bury itself.Instead of sitting waiting to be admired by the present?

hey we dont need to be quarelling people if she dosent know somone could say it polity

I do not agree with punishing a child in school by using the strap if that is still being used but, I do believe in detention but if the circumstance is very out- of- hand expelling for a week would be my first choice.
When I was in school I got them both and today I'm glad because, if my teacher never cared she would just have passed me over and say to herself nothing will become of you but, she saw the potential and I learned from my punishment and thank God I made good and today I am teaching my children from my school experiences.

Teachers of TB all pushishment is mischief .All pushishment in itself is evil?

Teachers should have the right to discipline students. I would say using a strap on a CHILD or CHILDREN is definitely abuse. Beating children do not accomplish any source in the situation at hand trying to be resolved. Having a procedure such as detention and repeative writing are very good implementation that is of a reasonable measure.

Hmmm there seems to be a second turey !?

I'll give over my username if the new user can tell us what it means.

Hint: it's out of this world.

I used to be given lines, could never figure out what I was supposed to gain.

If only children enjoyed the educational experience so much that they can't wait to go to school.

Canada2.. Where did you go to school? How old are you? Please read again and pay attention to the first line in my posting. No matter what you are anyone say, in todays world if we want our youths to make something good with their lives they had better smarten-up and obey their teachers/parents even some of their older siblings/friends.
Some people take education seriously, some just float along with the wind and complain and envy others when they can afford to live financially better all because "THEY STUDIED HARD IN SCHOOL".

Turey not to be rude the saying is this the true use of speech is not so much to express our words as to conceal them.

A teacher affects eternity: he can never tell where his influence stops.

Thanks Ca2, you were not being rude.

Nelly Memories are hunting horns whose sound dies on the wind. And we forget because we must and not because we will.

Canada 2 I like your line of poetry . I'm somewhat a poet myself :S

Hi Coppa thank for the kind words.poetry is the opening and closing of a door.Leaving those who look through to guess about what is seem during a moment.

nice answer canada2.

“And we forget because we must And not because we will”

Matthew Arnold quotes (English Victorian Poet and Critic of Literacy and Society. 1822-1888)

I believe we forget because memories are as a lily in sways in the wind. Slowly its roots are lost and it egins to drift. drift into the unconscious that is.

The last time i checked,the topic was concern teacher , and it is asking your opinion on students getting lines in high school.NOT WHO IS USING OTHER PEOPLES QUOTATION.So what if canada2 wants to use other peoples quotation,i read everyone that she wrote i don't see where she is trying to make it look like her own.PEOPLE, THIS IS A FREE WORLD, CANADA2 CAN USE WHAT EVER SHE FEELS LIKE .YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.

Concern Techer
Punishment
Given Lines
The above topics are ones which many Jamaicans have experienced I did",as a task or as(Home Work)to answer the question with a yes or no would be to deprive any one reading this reply of knowledge, the teachers who have used this method might be using Psychology.Concern teacher you should have had some training in this field the pupil in this senario might have been previously ajudge by the teacher to be a lesser developer in their spelling and writing this task could then be deemed appropriate for the pupil as he or she would be practising more to develop the skills.The thinking behind it would be. "practise make perfect" The more you do it the better you can become.On the other side Evil shows its uglyness,if i dont like you i can be Horrible to you."people in position of Authority".Teacher i hope that i have contributed to this topic. yours truly Ja Abroad.

Brick you are so right. Canada2 can say whatever she want to say. This is suppose to be a forum where free speech should be free. I dont go to this website too often, but allthe time I come on this site they are always giving Canada2 attitude. You people who are doing it have to stop. Give her a break and let she express herself. Kids who go to high should'nt be getting punishment of any kind. Punishment of any kind is no good. I used to get punished in high school and I used to hate that teacher, also I was never happy in shool again until after she died.

I too am a teacher. I never punished my students because I want them to be happy. I also want them to "want" to come to school eveyday.

Unfortunately, we are not able to host a completely open Forum. We started out that way, but some people mis-used it with profanity, nasty rumors about others, etc.

Please see this recent post for more information.

We appreciate your cooperation and respect for others on this site.

Thanks for backing me up observer,seems like we're the only ones who see what canada2 is trying to say all the while when she uses quotatins to express her views.

Well,i personally did not know that you couldn't use other peoples quotations without giving them credit.so i guess i learnt something new on this website.

canada2,don't worry bout anything,just remember what TBnet says and then you won't have to go through all of this mess.

Hi brick I dont think Canada2 really earn a living from this Website.I am sure she respect TBN views.In life we learn something new everyday.

Hi Mahem,that a bite harsh,but kinda true.But then again she aint say nothing about she earning or she wonna earn any thing from the website,canada2 is just expressing her views.
