Quite funny and something you don't see very often. I mean, yes we do like to take the mick out of Stanley and Chester but i think it is quite clear by the way the remarks are structured that we aren't being 100% serious. I mean, c'mon, every place has at least one rough area and its just a shame that places such as Chester, Stanley and Consett have built up a reputation for that.

One of the girls in my tutor is now on red card.
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!

RE: Whats made you happy today?
The card system seems a bit convoluted in my opinion. Red and yellow cards are fine because they are symbolically significant when it comes to dishing out discipline. I don't understand what pink and blue are supposed to represent but, usually, a green card (or signal) means 'good' or 'good to go'.
When I was at school there were four tiers of disciplinary action before expulsion.
We used to carry homework diaries to record, well, homework, but they were also used by teachers to comment, where necessary, on comment on class performance. A green comment meant you had contributed well in class - worthy of praise - whereas a red comment meant the opposite. If three 'red marks' were received within one week, the next level of disciplinary action was applied - being put on 'report'. There were three different types of report: 'Head of House', 'Deputy Head', and Headmaster's'. All three required teachers to grade your behaviour/performance. You were still allowed to socialise with students at break-times whilst on Head of House's report, but if you were on either Deputy Head or Headmaster's report, you had to stand outside their office with your nose to the wall during these periods.
Quite a few people were expelled from my school, however, they all seemed to bypass the disciplinary procedure and were pushed straight out the door. Ironically, a person from my year who was expelled from school, went on to form his own business and is now a millionaire on paper. I remember when a teacher told this person that they'll never amount to much.

I'd be on a blue card every day. I refused to carry a planner around in the last 3 years of school, as it was only ever used to get a 'good behaviour' stamp from your lesson. Waste of time.

I'm not too sure about green either. Although I think Pink and Blue are generally just random colours they picked, I'm sure they have a White card as well for children being specifically monitored because of something, usually within a specific set of lessons (eg, French and Spanish or History and Geography, etc).
I'll ask tomorrow for you.

In my school it is:
Green - Form Tutor Report
Yellow - Head of Year Report
Red - Deputy Head Report
Maybe the green stands for lowest report?

Generally, a lot of people, regardless of their behaviour history - treat Pink card like a bad comment. Similar to how Adam said, if you get 3 in a week there's a consequence; in my school you get an after school detention on the Friday night. Normally not taken seriously.
Whereas with Blue, it's generally for forgetting your planner, which the school makes a big fuss of. You aren't allowed out into Chester-le-Street for your lunch, and need to have it signed by a Senior member of Staff every 10 minutes, which I wouldn't mind tbh. I'd still be able to have lunch with some friends who opt for their lunch in the canteen.
Green is generally seen as a bit of a serious punishment, and is met with an after school detention. If you fail it, like I explained, you are given one more chance before moving onto Yellow.
Yellow is typically the same people over and over again, normally some of the girls in my tutor group.
Red is a totally different thing, I think Red has only been handed out about five times since the start of Y7 in my year group. It's basically a death sentence.

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

Aye, same here!
There's literally no point, if I get homework etc iI'll have it physically, and it's normally in the next day anyway. I've pretty much remembered my timetable by now, however if I hadn't it'd fit into a pocket easily.
Nowadays especially, I don't see why they don't make us use our phones, theyre going to be a lot more relevant when we grow up than a diary, and as most young people constantly have theirs nearby, there's no excuses.

While in Home Bargains in Blaydon this morning I was privy to a conversation held between two till operatives discussing what they look for in a man. Both mentioned and agreed that a nice pair of trainers were essential as you could tell a lot about a man by the type of trainers they wear. Bearing in mind that I'd just came from the gym, I felt a bit disheveled as I was wearing an old pair of Fila trainers which cost me £15 from JD Sports. I wonder what they made of me.
Obviously this didn't make me happy but I was rather amused by the superficial attitude displayed here.
I think I'll stop buying Airwalk, Vans etc. and invest in a pair of AirMax '95.
