In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline(惩戒) students in several ways. The teacher often writes or calls the student’s parents. Sometimes students have to stay at小题1:for an extra hour. If a student behaves 小题2:, the headmaster can suspend(勒令……休学) the student. The student cannot come to school for one, two, or three days. Sometimes, when the headmaster suspends some students, they are 小题3:. “A three-day vacation!” they thought.
Mr Lazares, a headmaster, didn’t like to suspend students. When the boy who was not behaving well in class was sent to his 小题4:, Mr. Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes,” he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every 小题5:. Other students stared at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that, he behaved better. He didn’t want his father to come to school 小题6:. Other students behaved better, too. They thought, “I don’t want my 小题7: to come to school!”
That year, about 60 parents came to school with children who didn’t behave well. The next year, 小题8:parents had to come to school. The students were behaving better.
