tbf, a lot of Greek gods go beyond "not perfect" into "actually just petty abusive assholes"

    When I was in elementary school, we had behavior cards and normally we’d all be green. It goes from green, yellow, orange, then red. When the teacher got fed up with our behavior, she would start all of us on orange and we would have the end of the day to get to yellow or green, otherwise we would have to fill out a refocus form

        lol must be an American thing. It’s basically timeout where you fill out a sheet describing your behavior and your parents have to sign it

        Basically what I’m saying is that we were put in hell then had to gradually move out of it based on our conduct

          holy shit they've outsourced writing the note to the kids?

          at least here, the teacher had to do the work of writing the note...

            Yes, though I can see the psychological reason behind it. Not only are you visibly in time out filing the sheet out, but you basically kind of have to be honest about it because it's your handwriting and the teacher may present it during meetings. You can put a fake signature on it but then your parents will be like "huh how come you never brought this to my attention"
