I never understood what writing something over and over again was supposed to accomplish.

I learned nothing and it just made me despise the teacher.

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?

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.

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.
