Carrot and the stick?
I'm still laughing about Lucys tale of school punishment witnessed by her on Friday.
Her school is strict about homework and each pupil carries a homework diary. The diary logs each days allocated homework, how long it should take and when it should be handed in etc. There are also places for any credits given to be logged and for parental and form teacher signatures each week.
So, on Friday the head of year tutor arrived unexpectedly in class and announced he was doing a spot inspection of homework diaries. Heehee!
For each properly completed diary he whipped out a box of chocolates from beneath his robes and the child got to choose and eat a chocolate.
The bit that makes me laugh is the punishment meted out to those whose books were missing signatures. Those hapless boys had to take the box of succulent treats and walk to the front of class and offer one to the form teacher and say "Please Miss, may I offer you one of these delicious chocolates which in more fortunate circumstances could oh so easily have been mine."
Haha I'm still laughing.
