Read MoreThursday Challenge: 2nd July
Published 01/07/20, by Charlie MackinnonRank these events from least to most naughty to create a naughtyometer!
Use the following questions to help you make up your mind.
Not doing any homework for a whole week
Is school like a job? Are there more excuses for not doing homework than schoolwork? What counts as a good excuse? Could there be good reasons for not doing any work?
Stealing from the school canteen / Stealing someone's lunch
Is stealing always wrong? Is it worse to steal from a person or an organisation? Who are you stealing from if you steal from a school?
Calling another pupil a bad name - Calling a teacher a bad name
Is calling someone names worse than hitting someone? Would a child feel worse than a teacher? Would you get punished worse for insulting a teacher than a child? Should you?
Hitting someone / Seeing someone hitting someone, and doing nothing about it / Hitting someone back
Can two wrongs make a right? Can you do something to someone that’s done it to you without it being bad?
Is watching someone get hit worse than watching someone fall over?
