Repeat Offender. We had a Painted Square. Anyone remember the TV show Recess? They had an episode about this type of punishment. Actually, I think what made it most effective was they made us face the playground the whole time watching other kids play.
I sometimes pass that old school. The playground that used to house the square is now just a space between two buildings. The new one sits on the far end of the other side of the school. But I don’t know if there is a square anymore.
It’s amazing how much things change and how time just overwrites the past. The only school that’s still standing that I attended is my High School, and that was completely redone.

Totally agree. It was even worse when you can see them, but can’t join them!
grate = prison
Yep, totally.

My High School Building is long gone. 2002 was the last class to graduate. Now its an empty lot.
