To address the comment that this was humiliating to the child. ANY parent knows how humiliating it would be to stand there next to your child while people see that sign. It couldn't have been something that the mother ENJOYED doing. She did it in an attempt to get her daughters attention, prepare her for life after school, and help her work up to her capabilities instead of being a slacker. I hope they don't bother her for doing this. The 'trauma' caused to children who aren't disciplined is just as bad in some cases because they are shown neglect and the parents don't care about what the kid does. At least this mother cares. This wasn't a harsh punishment for something small. It was an ongoing problem that other discipline methods had not alleviated so far. Kudos to Mom.
