Time Out: Difference between revisions

Since corporal punishment is no longer as acceptable in the modern world, especially not in the West (or at least not in Fiction Land, anyway, as plenty of cultures [[Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off|still practice spanking]]), misbehaving children ([[Rule of Funny|and occasionally pets]]) will be punished by the following:

 

* [[Go to Your Room]]

* [[You Are Grounded]]

* This is one of ''[[Supernanny]]'s'' forms of discipline: the naughty step (or corner if you're in a bungalow) where children are supposed to sit for one minute per their age (for instance, a 5-year-old sits there for five minutes) to reflect on their actions.

* This happens to ''[[Calvin and Hobbes|Calvin]]'' in one strip, he's made to sit on a stool and wear a [[Dunce Cap|dunce's hat]].

* In ''[[Summer Heights High]]'', Jonah is sent to the back of the classroom facing away from the rest of the students as punishment. However he still has to do his work there. He gets threatened with being sent out into the hall after he continues to misbehave.

* Also happens in ''[[The Simpsons]]'': When they are narrating the history of Lisa's first word, Bart tries to get rid of the baby in many ways, including sending her in the mail, and Homer punishes him this way, even sending Bart to the corner; tough, he is already there.
