Punishments in UK schools
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be ____________________ .
? ____________________ : a pupil is excluded from the school and cannot come back . The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education ( home tutor , special centre for difficult pupils ) .
? ____________________ : when a pupil is suspended they cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their case . Suspension can last from 1 to 45 days in a school term . The school usually gives work to do at home with a tutor ( special teacher ) .
? ____________________ : a pupil is detained . This means he or she is asked to stay at school at the end of the school day . The pupil must work for 30 minutes or an hour more before they are allowed to leave the school .
? ____________________ : a pupil has to write a sentence many times ( 100 times ) on a sheet of paper : An example sentence : I must not shout in class . This punishment is sometimes given during detention too .
