Did it work very well in practice? I also think that it seems like a good idea to have students stretch their legs but I would worry that it may be distracting for other students and some students may just see the punishment as a chance to get up and not do their work. However, when I studied abroad in Singapore, I saw similar punishments. I had never seen them enforced in my class because my students were very well behaved but I heard teachers threatening to make students stand in the corner of the room. Some students also had to stand during 15 minutes of recess. I have seen two students (from other classes) receive a standing punishment and they were both crying. It was most likely from the embarrassment and the shame from the stares of their classmates. However, this might be a school culture aspect because I always felt like students treated punishments very seriously and they were terrified of getting in trouble. It is interesting to hear about the standing punishment in another school.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284087541736812424noreply@blogger.com
