There were many forms of punishment students used to be subjected to for doing mistakes. Depending on the type of mistake and the relationship you have with your teachers, the type of punishment you get used to vary.
Here are five crazy punishment ever seen in school:
Kneel on stones with bare kneesMost students could be seen around the school compound kneeling. The time you are supposed to kneel will vary depending on how busy the teacher was. Some teachers could tell you to kneel and even go home forgetting that they are supposed to release you off your punishment. It was worse when you are asked to kneel on a hard ground with your bare knees.
Sleep in the sunMost students found sleeping in the class were asked to sleep outside in the sun. This was hectic as you were required to sleep covered with your blanket in that hot afternoon sun. You could sweat in that blanket until you decide to 'cheat'.
Uproot a tree trunkAnother hard form of punishment used to be uprooting a tree trunk. Most students used to hate this punishment as it could take them some days before uprooting a single trunk. If you were lucky, friends could come and help during games times.
Sweep the whole compoundSome teachers could ask you to sweep the whole school compound. Some schools have large compounds which could take a student a whole day sweeping. However, this was easy as schools used to have daily manual work thus most areas used to be clean.
BeatingsMost students would prefer being given some hard strokes and the punishment is over. However, some teachers could ask a student to strip before being punished. These are some of the things that used to cause hatred between teachers and students thus constant strikes in schools.
