What do you think of this?

AN 11-year-old girl was left ‘distraught’ after being forced to scrub the pavement as a punishment at school.

Charmaine Gray was ordered to carry out the work by teachers after being disruptive in lessons.

The Year Six pupil has been taken out of St Peter’s CE Primary School, Darwen, by her mum Johanne Elsworth after the incident.

Headteacher Victoria Weddle and Blackburn with Darwen Council have declined to comment on the matter.

But yesterday parents picking up their children said they were supportive of the school’s stance.

Sometimes a different approach and punishment works. Far more productive than writing lines or staying in during their break
if it was on school premises or just outside they would be cleaning up the school area .

I was always writing 100 lines at school,how boring, didn't stop me misbehaving though, but the ruler across my hand did, it was really painfil!!
