My teacher assigned me lines... again :(. Last time she gave me 750, so now according to her "rules" she gets to double it. So I got 1500. Ouch. My hand hurts so bad, its aching as I type this, and I only finished 200 lines. I got this punishment for whispering in class (and I was asking about what she was lecturing in class). Andn the line she gave me is really really long. Its "I will learn to respect the teacher while she is talking and do not talk or whisper to others in class. When I want to comment on something, I will raise my hand and ask for permission to speak. By handwriting this, I will learn to do that in the future." Now imaging writing that 1500 times and you'll see what i mean by my hand hurts. I have one more day to finish and was wondering what other people do when their hand hurts and they have to write so much. Also does anybody else get writing punishments?

I had one of those once. Was totally unfair. But anyway, I simply wrote a short paragraph explaining why such a punishment is worse than useless, handed that in and left. Don't let them brainwash you into stupidity. Do something smart and surprise them. They never expect that, because they are used to stupid behaviour.
Example: If you wrote a paragraph about how you understand the importance of not speaking while others are presenting, and what that might mean in terms of respect, you will likely not have to do this meaningless and painful exercise. YOu might learn something and have fun, and your teacher might learn something too. What an antiquated activity for in school, copying lines!

What I do is remember that "I will learn to respect the teacher while she is talking and do not talk or whisper to others in class. When I want to comment on something, I will raise my hand and ask for permission to speak."
