Silent Lunch

In our school, if there's a major infraction - disrepect, inappropriate language, lying, etc. - the students serve a Silent Lunch.  This is basically a lunch detention.  There are times when some of those reasons are so funny that it's hard to punish them for it.  These are a couple of those:

• Hattie lied to a teacher saying she didn’t do her homework because of a death in the family.  Her mom confirmed that there was no death in the family.
• Hattie used glue on her bellybutton on the bus.
• Herman asked another student if he wanted to “Suck Oprah’s boob”
