Justin Campbell, Hanover High School’s Principal, together with Ian Smith, the School’s Dean, announced in a joint press conference Wednesday, that Scheduling-Up will no longer be used as a response to student misbehavior. They declared that Scheduling-Up has become so prevalent and so cumbersome to manage on the part of the administration that it had to be replaced with something more efficient and effective.
Starting tomorrow any student cutting classes or misbehaving will be dealt with by having to spend an assigned amount of time in The Stocks which will be erected in the front of the Atrium. The Stocks have been a well-known and effective (though not as effective as the dunking stool - also considered by the administration) means of administering discipline since the early Puritan days of New England. It is expected that several hours in The Stocks, enduring the taunts and comments of passers-by, will readily cure many forms of student misbehavior with little effort on the part of the administration - thus freeing them for more creative forms of educational harassment.
