My 11yo has a new teacher (P7 in Scotland) who has started doling out lines at school. He had the opportunity this week to earn 30 minutes of golden time for cashing in today, but because he only earned 10 minutes of golden time he spent the remaining 20 mins writing out "I must listen to my teacher's instructions carefully". And brought the sheet home for my signature. He wasn't the only one - 15 other children in the class had to also do it for varying amounts of time.
So what's the verdict - an effective punishment?
