[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And another thing, kids lie or fudge the truth. I’ve heard some Oscar worthy performances where kids leave a bathroom two feet in front of me and claim “vomit” yet there’s not an errant splash, excessive toilet flushing, hands washed - not even a whiff of puke in the air.

I send dozens of smiling, laughing nearly joyous kids back to class after they’ve complained they’ve just thrown up and or feel like they are about to throw up. Kids also tell me they’ve vomited but what they really mean is they burped and got a bad taste of stomach acid in the back of their throat.[/quote]

How about making them sit on a cot for 30 minutes while you "evaluate how they feel."  Staring at the ceiling for a half hour is pretty boring and might make them less likely to try this again.[/quote]

PP and 30 minutes is entirely too long for this assessment.
I give ‘em 10 minutes.[/quote]

The point is to make it more painful than staying in class next time.[/quote]
