I Had To Write The Same Sentence Over And Over As Punishment

Had to do this at home when grounded. So many a day and neat, of course. If a word was misspelled on a spelling test, the nun would make us write it 10 or 15 times. Mom would double it

It could have been much worse if you made a mistake from both the Nun and your Mom
@JayneA OUCH! I would have been very careful not to write down multiple times an incorrect spelling. That is like practicing a mistake! Getting it down perfectly wrong, by heart!
@Sujbftihe Do you think you would have learned just as much if you had gotten licks from the Assistant Principal? We had to turn ourselves into an accurate copy machine and make exact copies of arbitrarily selected pages in a cheap paperback dictionary.

Same here but I thought they did away with that punishment like over 20 years ago!

I also had to write lines in school at one time. Went to Catholic grade school.

This was standard practice in catholic grade schools!

me too! OMG funny. I thought that stopped with my class!

I bet it was a very effective punishment

I bet you are glad you don’t have to do that anymore

But did you learn anything by it?

You should have just taped 10 or 15 pencils together, then VOILA

Mom gives lines bunches and they have to be perfect.

It was so boring. I doubt it did any good at all.
Check out the SQ3R method and see what you think. It is well-known. Punch it into any web search software and actually try it. You may develop a different view of some ways to benefit from doing lines.

Same here.
Have to do that when grounded at home, sometimes up to 100 or 150.

so many punishments, enough to give you a complex when you grow up
