punishment for dummies

[b i o n i c]

punishment.

lessons.

ooooh, it can hurt so good..

i dont know if males have a biological clock, but ive been thinking a lot about the future and having kids and all that. im not getting married anytime soon, but for some reason the thought of having kids has been crossing my mind more often than it ever has..

and this has brought me to fear that im gonna have a really hard time with it when the time comes. i know im lucky to have my parents still around with all i put them through in raising me, i know i did a real number on them with trying to get me to grow into a proper adult.

i think that when my time comes i want to be prepared to do things the right way, and that got me to think about how to 'punish' a kid when they eff up, how to do it in a way that will actually get the message through. how do you get a bad seed to straighten out?

i always thought that punishment should be more than just putting a kid through inconvenience, anger or resentment. they should actually learn something from their mistakes.

i had a cousin whose dad would make him write essays. i always thought that was a good idea. make the kid learn to reason through their actions and perhaps learn a little socratic method along the way?

in high school i had a dean who always had the most creative ways of punishing us. one time i was caught smoking behind the school by having a water balloon dropped on my head. when i looked up, the dean was looking at me from the roof and smirkingly ordered me to his office. when i got there he didnt give me detention, he told me to put the rest of my pack in a ziplock bag with water and to bring it back to him the next day. sure enough, the next day i brought him a bag of cigarettes floating in brown water. he just wanted to show me what i was putting in my body.

and the time when someone was caught throwing a paper airplane during an assembly, he made that dude make 100 planes that actually flew from one side of the gym to the other. if it didnt get to the other side, it didnt count and was crumpled up. ok im not sure of the lesson there, but i always liked that one.

wow, this is too long. so, if you have anything good, share.

[b i o n i c]

[ms.peachy]

i aint the one pushin those things out, what do i care

Ha ha ha, you think that's the only source of pain in parenting? Ha, ha, ha...

[jabumbo]

child support for 50 kids should be in the millions of dollars i'd think



sucker!

[b i o n i c]

you best be gettin on that gov't cheese line, cause im broke.


ooh, another punishment, instead of sitting in detention, the dean would make the kid with the most days carry two gatorade coolers full of rocks around the school so the rest of the kids in j.u.g. (justice under god) would watch from the the detention room. yes it was called jug.

[jabumbo]

you had a sweet dean, man


when my high school principal was still the vice principal, he used to go hide in the park across the street where kids would go to cut class and pop out of the bushes on them and catch them all of the time.

as far as parental stuff, i think as long as you're consistent it should be okay. none of that breaking down shit when the kid throws a fit because you wouldnt buy them coco puffs or something

my dad wasnt super strict on any kind of curfew, but if i stayed out waaaay too late, he'd basically subject me to sleep deprevation by waking me up really early and not letitng me take a nap during the day. this led to me making descisions like "i really need to go, my dad's gonna wake me up at 7 and i dont want to feel like crap tomorrow" so basically, i didnt have a curfew, it was just a matter of how much sleep was i really willing to lose out on

[b i o n i c]

my dad tried the same thing, except i would just barricade my door so he couldnt get in the next morning.


i had a teacher who would make dudes stay after school for talking or being late and had them write out the book of job from the bible - alternating between pen and pencil for each word. they'd be there crazy late writing

[b i o n i c]

as in you were hit? was this a private school?

[b i o n i c]

the worst i got was a book thrown at me by my latin teacher, a jesuit priest. he would routinely hit people in the back of their heads. im not sure that this still goes on, but for me it was only about ten years ago.

i would not have a problem with teachers beating the snot outta my kids if they misbehaved in school.


ouch.. i'd probably take the detention. when did that stop? i doubt that still goes on in texas

i WISH spanking and the like was still allowed in public schools. it seemed like in middle school there would always be one kid that the teacher just could not do anything about, and they'd ruin the whole class. the teacher would politly ask them to stop whatever they were doing every few minutes and the kid would never listen. i could never figure out why teachers didnt send students out of the class more often. but a good ass whoppin probably would have cut down on people acting like douchebags in class.

[b i o n i c]

you could use a little spanking yourself

[insertnamehere]

mee-yow

[b i o n i c]

your punishment is to write an essay about the importance of discretion

[insertnamehere]

you know, if you'd just played it cool, they would have thought i was joking around

[b i o n i c]

just tell me another spanking story, inh
