Hey, Sean!
I still think you should have missed the practice, or been late. I asked my Dad what usually happens when a player does that (he was a Sports Editor for his school paper) and he said that they have to run laps after the practice or the next practice. Then he kind of laughed.
Even though I haven't been spanked for over a year, I have been pretty close to it. I do lots of stupid stuff, too. I get sent to my room, and I have been grounded to my room or the house for a day or two. But, a lot of the time, I just sort of see trouble coming and I back out.
It's like Adam, my 8 year old brother was playing with Legos with my 6 year-old brother. And, they started yelling at each other about something, and I told them to cool it because Dad was just down the hall. Well, they kept at it. Sure enough, Dad came over, saw them throwing Legos at each other and still yelling. Adam was sent to his room and Dad used the ruler to play the drums on his buns, and spanked Yaakov with his hand. We have a house rule of "no fighting." So, that was Sunday. It was also the second time this happened. Dad talked to Adam a long time so I think something is up about the next time. Oh, Dad let Avraham off the grounding this morning, too. He only did Wednesday night to this morning before breakfast. But, he was supposed to do a week.
Dad told us that we need to get what he is going to spank us with and then hand it to him as well as take down our own pants, once we are 12 years-old. So far most of them have gotten the belt from the closet but no one handed it to him. And, no one has taken down their pants. I am pretty sure I can take my pants down okay but when I comes to my undies, I can see myself getting that awful feeling in my stomach and freezing. How many extra whacks would you get if you didn't do it? I asked Dad what would happen if I didn't do it, and he said, "We'll see." I don't like that, you know? Then he said that it won't be enforced until we are twelve. But for me, that is April!
Dad said we are all going to make paddles next week. And then, they will either hang on the back of the door or the wall of the bedroom. He said that is to help us accept his authority over us. Man! I don't know if I can bring my friends to my room then! Most of my friends don't even know we are spanked! Where do you keep your paddle?
The reason they don't give us grades is because they don't want us to become "grade conscious" and overly competitive. I don't really get it, because we do have quizzes and tests and those are graded. Heck we even have final exams! And those are graded. We compare grades all the time. I never had a teacher not like me and neither have any of my brothers. The comments are very factual and are not really very subjective at all except stuff like getting along with classmates and things like that. It is stuff like, "uses his time efficiently, and is work-oriented." It does not have a lot of opinion stuff on it. I think they get a lot of that when they have these nights twice a year where the parents meet and talk to the Instructors. But, even then, all our folks ever say to us is how well we are doing and that they are proud of us. And, when we get the semester cards, we have always gone out to eat to celebrate.
Have you ever really had a big problem with just a few classmates and a teacher? Probably not. So, it's kind of like that in our school. But, I can say, I hate to think what would happen if we did get a letter sent home. Man! Dad would NOT be happy!
Okay, Sean. Keep working hard in school and in football. Hope I hear from you soon. Meantime, keep away from those demerits! It's way too easy to get two, it seems to me!
