I just can't think of any discipline stories worthy of sharing.<br /><br />I do have a memory of getting in trouble in the cafeteria because the aid didn't like my posture and said I refused to sit up straight, so they refused to allow me to eat. I didn't know what they wanted me to do differently and thought I was sitting up straight.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-58688180650926996542011-01-15T09:48:40.665-06:002011-01-15T09:48:40.665-06:00Seems you were likely to be singled out.

Are you tall, have red hair, stand out in any way? ;)<br />Maybe God was preparing you for suffering (unjustly) for Him.<br />Always enjoy your stories.<br /><br />BTW, today, finally, the FF took me to the Friday post. Yesterday, no matter how many times or ways I tried, it never came up.

I don't remember any kids ever talking back to the teacher, the worst disrespect was making faces behind their back. Things have changed a lot! This was a fun post as always!

My sons' school would often take away privileges when a handful abused them, and it was hard not to join in the kids' cries of "Unfair!" I agree, the troublemakers were not at all bothered by the peer pressure.<br /><br />I can't remember any specific instances of being wrongly accused, but there must have been some -- I remember that awful feeling.<br /><br />I can remember the stress of trying to be everywhere I needed to be on time in college. I don't think I could handle it now! Especially a lunch situation like that!Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-85976705862963132002011-01-14T08:54:30.005-06:002011-01-14T08:54:30.005-06:00It sounds like your elementary school was pretty s...It sounds like your elementary school was pretty strict, too!<br />I enjoyed reading your memories--and by the way, I don't approve of "group punishment" either!Kathyhttp://www.edshunnybunny.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-88041069351630163582011-01-14T08:43:22.177-06:002011-01-14T08:43:22.177-06:00Fun memories!

I think back to when I was in school and the stuff that I could get in trouble for then seems like an eye wouldn't even be batted at now.<br /><br />Great post -- very interesting to read and recollect!<br /><br />RachelRachel @ Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217317211649327419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-61590973209261279262011-01-14T07:36:41.227-06:002011-01-14T07:36:41.227-06:00Wow--all those elementary school issues seem prett...Wow--all those elementary school issues seem pretty trivial and arbitrary. In trouble for laughing out loud or shaking your head no? Yikes!<br /><br />I had a professor in college who would answer students cell phones for them if a ringer went off in class. It made for some interesting conversations as confused callers heard a little lecture on education and cell phone etiquette. People learned to turn their cell phones off before coming to class!bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-12079467902175130912011-01-14T07:33:44.195-06:002011-01-14T07:33:44.195-06:00Linda, This was such a fun entry and I so enjoyed ...Linda, This was such a fun entry and I so enjoyed the reflection. I'm not sure my recollections had as much "flair" as yours, but still brought me a lot of good memories.<br /><br />A happy week-end to you and I always enjoy stopping by.Lea @ CiCis Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252011706208068724noreply@blogger.com
