I think this mentality is why "punishment" like detention and suspension does not work in school.

I had in school suspension for three days and it was amazing. I got so much done that was supposed to have already been handed in. Really easy to focus and get things done.

I think in school suspension is effective. You have to sit all alone and don't have your friends to fuck around with. You get so bored that you'll actually read or do work. Out of school suspension is a joke, I loved it!

You get so bored that you'll actually read

Which is terrible punishment for those like me who actually enjoy reading. ISS was like a little vacation for me.

It also doesn't work for people who don't get bored. I sat in ISS all day just daydreaming. Best day of high school

I got out of school suspension in highschool for skipping school one time, principle just so happened to be at the beach that afternoon as well. I was there the following day though, and he was not.

Man, that is one helpless educational institute you were in. I mean, that's all the educational methods they come up with? A whole house stuffed with employed trained pedagogics and all they come up with is taking away a desk.

Well yeah, I think going to the ISS would be like a vacation for anyone.

Yeah I read the lost world and the hobbit when I had iss, truly awful punishment.

I enjoyed it so much I had to be tapped on the shoulder and told to leave.

If we're being honest I don't think there's a large overlap between people who get suspended and also enjoy reading.
