Every school has some rules for students to follow. But what happens when students break the rules? In the UK, when students are naughty at school, they will be given a warning. But if they go on behaving badly like talking over the teacher and disrupting other students ---they’ll be punished. And there are a lot of ways for students to be punished! Generally speaking, there are five punishments within the school grounds: detention, isolation education unit(IEU), supervision, suspension and exclusion. If you receive a detention, you’ll find yourself sitting in a room with your teacher during break, lunch or even worse, after school. The longest time for a detention is two hours. Depending on how naughty you’ve been, you can be given a maximum of two detentions in one day! If you get IEU, you’re isolated from other students and have to stay in a room by yourself all day to finish your lessons. Supervision means that you cannot take part in P.E. lessons, and in other classes, a teacher will always keep an eye on you while you sit at the front of the class. It can make students very uncomfortable. Suspension means you cannot go to school for a certain amount of time. The most extreme punishment you can ever receive is exclusion: when you are permanently suspended from school. You’ll have to find another school to go to and it will be on your school record. Punishment is a good way to discipline students. If you don’t want to get punished, behave well!
