    Write out a page of the phone book. I thought it as a rather creative punishment.

    Always hurt though to see him tear it up in front of me and throw it in the bin

    I never got in trouble in school, in primary I was a nerd and in Secondary the teachers didnt bother giving out to me cos my Principal loved me and I got away with everything

    Primary is eight years. Are you a genius who skipped classes?

    Bits of chalk and blackboard dusters were thrown in my direction

    Lots of fines for smoking

    We got immeadiately suspended if we were caught smoking anywhere on or near the school grounds during classes or lunch.

    3rd time suspended = expulsion

    Garda used to come to my house and threathen me with some reform school bullshít down the country because I was on the mitch most of the time.

    When I actually was in school I was put on report and had to get a teacher to fill out a form in my report book after every class that I was in.

    School made me get a drug test from my GP every few months,then had to discuss its results with the ancient christian brother guidance counsellor who always smelled like vegetables for some reason.

    Detention before and after school most days.Lunchtime detentions too,which I didn't mind cos I'd get soup,toast and tea for free from the staff room.

    Wouldn't be allowed in certain teachers classes so I'd be made to sit in the study hall for that class,or if one of the brothers caught me wandering the corridors I'd be sent up to the chapel for 'reflection time.'

    Wouldn't be allowed to PE/computer class or any other semi fun subjects.

    Lines, detention and suspension.

    I sorta liked detention because it was new in the school and sounded American.

    My teacher in secondary, gave a set of lines for not doing a homework, then doubled it if you missed another homework in a row. So I ended up doing 16 sides of lines of 'I must complete my homework' He was actually a really sound bloke, wouldn't have passed my Science GSCE without him.

    In one assembly, the headmaster comes to the front, I was in year 11, and we got comfy chairs at the very back of the hall. And he starts talking, some competion about writing about tidyness or something, and he says 'And the winner will get £25 to spend in Whsmiths on school supplies!' And I laughed really loud, and it was pretty small school, so he knew it was me, so I was pulled aside at the end by the deputy principal and taken to the headmasters office, and given a bollocking, and I had to write an apology letter :rolleyes:
