Ideas from Yahoo 3

Once again glancing through that page of Yahoo News I came across 10 School Punishments that would fly today for there would be lawsuits galore if these were done without permission from the parents. The first one listed was 'The Dunce Cap' I really do not remember this one used except on television on certain shows or pictures in history books. I do remember writing lines on the blackboard for some, and I do remember actually copying dictionary pages as a punishment that I had to do once, and I cannot remember what I did though. There was 'The Paddle' in the principal's office but he or she had to have permission from the parents to use it on whomever, ruler on the knuckles I heard of when but is a form of corporeal punishment and I do not remember any of my teachers using doing this at any grade level. There was students standing in the hallway, and I think I remember someone standing on one foot for some reason in the classroom and to go along with this I remember one teacher made a student sit under his desk this would be a form of public shaming and I did feel bad for this student even though he should not have been passing notes. The last few were extra homework and physical drills/exercises.

If anyone has any other odd punishments that they remember from their elementary or even secondary school days please comment.
