Look, we’ve all been there: we’ve all gotten into at least a little bit of trouble at school. Whether it was for talking, chewing gum, or skipping class, at one point or another, we’ve been caught trying to be sneaky! And usually our punishments were swift and harsh!
So, you thought your teachers were tough? You thought that having in-school detention was bad? Sitting inside, doing work or reading a boring book, while all your friends were outside playing and having fun? Well, you won’t believe the humiliating punishment these teachers thought up for this poor six year old boy!
School Mornings
Think back far enough, and we can all remember a time we showed up late for school and got detention for it. It was annoying, but we got over it. Detention was almost like a rite of passage. Even those goody two-shoes students weren’t immune to getting in trouble!
One detention was usually enough to set us on the straight and narrow! Usually, it’s the students that feel this punishment never fit the crime! But for one boy and his mother, being late for school launched a national scandal that left parents all over the country shaken to the core!
