me either... :oops:
this was my punishment as a kid when I got out of hand or didn't listen. Did any of you 80's kids ever have to do this? this was definitely an old school punishment - thats why I ask 80's kids.

Yes, I had to, for slapping a kid in the face more than once. Ouch, those were the days thinking about it. Nowadays they are too lenient with students.
yeah, you cant punish kids now.. you have to talk to them. Pain gets the message across much faster! :P
I know, pain is what works. Talking to kids don't do s**t. If my kids do something bad at school, I'll just take out the good old-fashioned belt.
haha! classic!! make sure they are not wearing 4 pairs of underwear! :lol:
Don't worry, i will make sure that they aren't. Need to feel the pain.
I remember I was sick and I threw up on a tangerine once. Does that count? Of course I didn't get into trouble. :D
geez you guys stand in the corner, write lines what era is this from , ive only seen this in t.v. shows
I never had to do this at school, but at home I wrote lines, got sent to the corner, got the belt pulled on me, got hit with those big wooden spoons and long tree branches (that I had to pick as part of the punishment), and even had to kneel on bobby pins on a tile floor once.
Great memories there... :roll:

We used to call those "switches". My mother was famous for making us go out and break off one. God forbid she got it herself; because she would always get the real skinny, flexible ones. They would sting like crazy. I also remember when you would act up over your friends house; his/her mother would light your a** up for being bad, and then tell your parents they did it and why. Then you would get your a** beat more when you got home. Social services my a**, but I guess those were the days!! :shock:

"I didn't ask for a dime....it's 2 dollars!"
I always had to write letters of apology.
I remember way back when I was about 3 or 4, my mom used have this thing called Mr. Paddle for whenever my sister or I ever got out of line. It was shaped more like a ping pong paddle though.

Good old fashion discipline works but you have to know your child. Writing lines or belts don't work for every child. The punishment should fit the child.

this is from the rainbow brite era! its not uncommon with 80's kids. unless you had parents who were too busy to care or "cool".

switches! dude this happened to me too! I didnt want to say it cuz its brutal..it might scare people who were born in 1993. :P
I don't recall standing in the corner, but I did write lines (That's what the OP meant, right? Doing lines relates to cocaine).
That wasn't really all that fun, especially when your handwriting is as big as mine is.

I thought coke might come up....I definitely meant writing lines! you :P !
never stood in a corner, but had to write huge essay's in school for various punishments, usually on the most boring, hard to find information topics... this was usually the punishment for not bringing gym clothes for PE class. The other punishment that was handed out by our PE teacher, Mr Fitzgerald, was to put our noses on the bleachers... you would sit on your knees, hands behind your back with your nose pressed up against the wooden bleachers(the bleachers were folded flat against the wall)... sometimes for the entire half hour gym class time. This punishment took on a whole new life when we had class at the playground outside.... then we either got a spot for our nose on the huge oak tree in the center of the playground, or we got to grab a metal fence post. I can only imagine what passers by thought when they see 30 elementry kids on their knees, hands crossed behind their back with their noses pressed against a fence post looking like they're awaiting their execution. Oh... he also liked to make you sit with your head in your lap... have you sit cross legged (indian style for you 80's babies) and put your head to your legs.... and sit for a half hour. This dude was mean....
What the hell is "writing lines?"
Like Bart does at the beginning of the Simpsons?

I had to write "standards" as they called them, not lines. And the teachers were so stupid and mean and did that stupid if you get punished then the whole class does. My 6th grade teacher use to give them just becuse she was feeling bitchy.
I never had to stand in the corner we use to get "the wall" or "the bench" for recess punishment. Once I had to sit in a storage closet for punishment in kindergarden. That techer was in idiot and didn't know how to hanlde little kids anyway.
