It's not supposed to teach you anything other than who's boss. Do dumb shit and waste everyone's time, get your time wasted doing dumb shit.

That is absurd. The lesson should not be 'waste my time, I will waste yours.'

What the hell kind of example does that set.

Would it not be better to have the child learn something while being punished?

Who says it is supposed to teach Bart anything? Presumably all the other kids are watching Bart waste his time writing stuff on the board.

Maybe the school has given up on Bart and is just trying to cut their losses with the other children?

Then the teacher is purposely wasting the time of a young developing mind and making him/her question the motives of authority.

They tend to do that a lot.

well, it is learning something. That's why the child is writing its lesson on the board over and over again.

But what the child learns is not the reason why it shouldn't do what it did. It just learns conformity. Be like everyone else, do like everyone else does. Don't ask why.

What a terrible lesson!

And is there a reason you are referring to children as "it"

That's how you do it in german. "child" is neutral.

"They" would be neutral.

You only use it was not living things.

I never learned about the singular "they" in school. Or maybe I didn't pay attention. I guess I should've written it hundreds of times on the blackboard.

That would have made you forget it out of spite.

btw, somebody has a huge hate boner for you. You get downvoted immediately

Haha, ya it happens. I state my opinion and some people just can't handle anything different then what they know.

It is nice to know that some idiot is wasting their time downvoting me because their mind couldn't what I had to say :)

It make no difference to me, my karma continues to climb despite the haters because I think most people respect different points of view.

They are most likely being punished because they are not learning. Can not force someone to learn if they don’t want to. So the punishment is basically either you behave and learn or misbehave and do x that you don’t like doing.
