That'll teach 'em

here's the final thought from the wvsr today. its too bad that stuff like this would never happen today:

One of the kids we took bowling is apparently getting “mouthy” with his parents, and getting Ds on his report card, etc. So the mother punished him by getting his hair cut real short. The kid’s eleven, and it’s apparently one of his greatest fears. She told him that if he didn’t straighten up, she’d take him back and have it taken down to a “two.”I thought that was, um, creative. Kinda cruel, but definitely creative. It reminded me of sixth grade, when somebody carved the word FUCK into the bathroom door. The principal came to our room and demanded to know who did it. When nobody confessed, he ordered the door removed.These were little bathrooms, one in every class. And we had no door until someone fessed up. We’d go in there and have to stand at a 45-degree angle to pee, and the girls had it even worse. It didn’t take long for the “artist” to step forward; there was a bit of social pressure.Can you imagine something like that happening today? They’d have the principal brought up on charges, Bill O’Reilly would be calling for his execution, and the students would be forced to undergo intense therapy. You know it’s true.What’s the most creative form of punishment you’ve ever been subjected to? Or, for that matter, heard about? Tell us about it, won’t you?
