Why is it that I remember most when I read them but can't think of them for myself-
Back in the day when we could we used to send a child to another teacher and ask for .........a long stand or a long wait...............then the person would see just how long they waited.
Mind you I also used to make children stand just outside my firedoor.It led to a narrow passage so they basically stood just against a wall. They couldn't see anyone or be seen.One very annoying girl changed her ways when I made her stand out there for only about 5 mins, though it seemed much longer in the snow. Things have changed a lot in the past 30 odd years
