Punishments in High School

There are many forms of punishment in high school and none of them are very effective at deterring bad behavior. The first punishment is the detention. Being held after class for a couple hours is actually pretty bad but, it only lasts as long as you're held. As soon as you are released there is no lasting effect on behavior. The next punishment is the suspension (which in my opinion is a total joke). Telling a kid to sleep in and play video games all day sounds more like vacation than punishment. I've actually seen kids get suspended on purpose so they can stay home for a few days and not have to deal with school. I feel like the only possible way to stop bad behavior is to create a punishment that lasts multiple days. For instance if you vandalize something you should have to fix it and then have longer detentions for more than one day.

One of the goals was to change your profile so I decided to update my education information on facebook.

Osama

Yesterday we all heard news that Osama was dead. He was killed by a team of Navy Seals and CIA at his hideout in Pakistan. His body was buried at sea within twenty-four hours to comply with Muslim tradition. They used DNA evidence to identify him as well as facial recognition methods. I feel as though his death lifted a lot of weight off of my mind. I understand that there are many more terrorists out there and there could be some sort of retaliation but we should not be afraid.
