My school have a system for behaviour, this bunch of girls have had the card system to their name since the beginning of Y7 now! To put it in short:
Pink - uniform being incorrect
Blue - no organiser/homework diary
Green - general behaviour and poor grades
Yellow - failed Green, basically on desperate ground
Red - failure to comply by any rules set by the school
Pink card and Blue card tend to be one-offs, such as forgetting your tie or organiser the once. Whereas Green is something the Head of Year decides over a period of time, such as a pattern in behaviour, negative comments, etc. If you fail Green card (every lesson the teacher must grade your behaviour on a 1-4 scale, 1 being great, 4 being terrible), you get one more shot - before you are handed a Yellow card.
Yellow card is a one-shot deal - if you get anything below a 2, you've failed it. Then you get a red one. And if you get a single 3 or a 4, you are expelled.
I don't think she'll be able to do it, she was all upset and stuff in tutor this morning when it's her own f***ing fault!
Fair to say this is a victory and I may go to bed this evening relatively hate-free. And before anyone comments, this isn't snobby or anything - everyone else is just as pleased as me. In fact we all want to see the back of this one!

I would have constantly bypassed pink, blue and green...
I refused to wear a tie and refused to wear the correct footwear and would always refuse to remove earrings...girls were allowed 1 earring in each ear, lads allowed 1, I did not agree with that, and wore 2 in my left ear.
I rarely kept an organiser and just simply would not engage with lessons...
I would do things to get into trouble knowing I would be excluded, the funniest exclusion coming after I threw a snowball at my mate, he ducked and I hit the deputy head on his bald shiny canister...About 6 months later I shaved my hair off, not just going over it with the sheers, I took a pack of razors to it and bicced it completely bald and was lucky not to get a permanant exclusion in Yr 11 for sticking a compass in a teachers back for a laugh.
As for punishments, we had On-Call, Tutor Report, Head of Year Report and Headmasters Report...
On Call was if you were disruptive in class, you would be banished to the On Call room
Depending on what you did wrong, you could go on report for a week upto a whole term, Tutor Report was at least 1 week, Head of Year Report was 4-6 weeks and Headmasters Report was also known as Book Report and could last the whole term, In most cases going on report was used to try combat truancy.
One of tbe stupidest things I ever did was set fire to my uniform, I was lucky to avoid book report as I was excluded for the last 10 days of that year and when we went back a new headmaster took over
At Chorister School we had a similar report kind of system, House Report being the most common, we would be giving Pluses and Minuses depending on how we behaved and would be scored in our house meetings, I am not 100% sure but I think I was the worst pupil in my last 2 years there, with my score being in the Red from 1993-95...
There report card was graded VG-Very Good, G-Good, S-Satisfactory, U-Unsatisfactory and think I may have been one of the first in Choristers to be put on long term report.
At Peterlee College we had White Slip and Pink Slip, I never needed to be disciplined at College...
But I do remember one amusing moment, at the time, our Acting Teacher/Coach was Charlotte Riley, really nice lass, good teacher and naturally gifted actress, a lad took exception at what he was asked to do, he called her a bitch in front of the whole class, instantly she gave him a Pink Slip, he was horrified and begging her not to change her mind and he was sorry, well I guess Charlotte was prepared to lose face or look weak in front of us, which of course she could not, we had a lot of freedom in her class to do our own thing as long as we showed the respect she showed us, when she would not back down, the lad started crying and ran away...I loved Charlotte though, she is the same ages as me, months between us and she brought out the best in me...
For those who do not know her, Charlotte went on to study at and graduate from LAMDA(London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts), she has now been on TV a bit and was in Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise last year and is married to Tom Hardy...There ya go lol
