Since I mentioned this in my previous post, I thought I would share it with you. The public school system as a whole says that writing for 'punishment' is wrong. It discourages writing for enjoyment. I happen to think that is a big pile of horse doody. Therefore, this is what my children will write when I feel the need arises. The number of times they write it will depend on the seriousness of the offense.
As a student of Hilltop Academy, I realize that I must have appropriate
behavior at all times. I know that if I do not behave appropriately there are
consequences for my actions. My teacher is my mother, and she wants what is
best for me. I need to follow all of the
rules in our classroom. Disobedience
is disrespectful to God, who gives us the opportunity to have school at
home. An education is a gift and should
be treated as a gift. The work I am
assigned is intended to increase my knowledge and help me to be a better
person. I need to do everything I am
told to do, the first time and to the best of my ability. I need to be a red bead in a black bead world
at all times. My education is my
own. I am responsible for it. Every decision I make affects my life and my
future. My character and my education
are a direct result of my effort.
What do you think?
