Punishment Doing Nothing to Help Us Learn

Teachers complain about how we act

They give us warning and then detention

But if we keep acting the way we are

They make us stay at home

Or in a different class for a number of days

But what doesn't make sense

They want us to learn in class

But they take us out for that learning chance

They should a class for those certain students

Instead of missing out of the education

Because all they are learning from this "punishment"

Act wrong and you get a break from education

All I'm saying

Make them learn when they are being "punished"

Get a teacher that's willing to teach them

Then they'll see

Might as well act right because no matter what

We all have to learn

To be something in this world

The schools need to see that this is a problem that they need to address about our education. Punishing those people that way isn't the right way to punish them at all. All they do is get a break from their education that they need to be something in this world.
