Hi,

Did you get lines at school? There were a lot of them given out at my school. Anything above 200 took ages to write. A few schools still use them.lol

my school still uses them sometimes takes an age to do ... not that i have ever had to do any but my mates have

Our daughter's school still give them. She's had them just the once. 300 for skipping homework twice.

i dont see the point in them... when i did them i think i wrote about 200 and when my teacher chucked them in the bin i wasnt really botherd coz i was just going to do exactly the same thing with them!

i think writing lines is pointless maybe writin something they can learn, but writing the same thing over and over isnt going to stop them doin it.

Yes I wrote lines .... hundreds and hundreds of them as I remember. Personally - a 10 minute real one to one where teachers try to engage, identify and understand where a pupil is coming from and vice versa would be a whole lot more productive IMHO.

we still have to write lines but instead of actual sentences they give you random words that are really hard to spell so you have to think about it each time you write it

They made us do them in primary school...except they werent lines, they just used to make you copy out the dictionary

yes there were lines given at our school i once had to write 200 times fools rush in were angels fear to tred and one puple got lines he was awarded 4 house points for writing them neatly

i remember dictionary coping ! but that was our lesson not detention . some english teachers were just like heres a dictionary . then theyd drink coffee n stuff

Well our music teacher had a habbit of giving lines out every lesson to anybody that talked.

I once got lines cos someone said I kicked them, so I wrote one line and threw the pencil on the floor. I was so cool.

a teacher kicked me once , thats almost the same

yes it is.

One day when I was about 6 an idiot pulled a chair away from me as I sat down but I saw them doing it and stood up again, then when they had taken the chair away and went to sit down on it I did the same to them and they fell flat on the floor… the unfortunate thing was that the teacher only saw the last half of the incident and accused me of being ‘’bad’ and ‘naughty’ so when she had gone I went to the scissors draw and found the scariest ones possible and then went over to the idiot that had stolen my chair, stood him up and then pinned him down on the table, held the scissors to his nose and threatened to cut it off; unfortunately the teacher came back at this point and started accusing me of being naughty again… how unfair.

hmmm , i kicked a chair from someone once . but i was standing in front of them talking to them , they rose to say something , and didnt notice me right in front of them kicking the chair backwards . dumbass . it was hilarious . even he laughed when he was told it was me from in front of him .

I always got lines, not for being naughty as such...just because I could never stop talking. whoops.

I hated them I done then a few tims

I knew of some people that did a different kind of lines..

Our english teacher (i was at a french-speaking school) used to give us "lists", i.e. we had to copy lists of irregular english verbs like "be/was/been/ beat/beat/beaten", and so on...and there were 200 of them! At the end of the year everybody knew his verbs perfectly...
everybody loved this teacher, he was a great man; once a guy asked him what he was doing with the lists and he answered "i wipe my ass with them, what do you think!" and the next lesson, the guy, who had two lists to do , brought him them copied on a... toilet paper roll!
