Discipline poems complete
Here they are finally after 2 years of searching
Cut and paste them for your own copy
The Nameless Paper
Shakespeare asked: “What’s in a name?”
Ten points each paper, I proclaim
Please sign your John Hancock here
Or get a kleenex for your tear
Talking
Please don’t speak without permission
Or your hand will be in poor condition
And your conduct grade will head south
So quiet down or tape your mouth
Paying Attention
Pay attention because it’s free
Listen, listen, I beg of thee
In this life, there’s no free pass
You cannot learn if you sleep in class
Not Prepared For Class
Pencil or paper, where art thou?
I have to work, I need you now
Please come back to me, my friend
So that this misery will end
Respect
One should show due respect
A duty one should not neglect
Sir and ma’am are what we say
Or we will write this every day
Hands, Feet, & Objects To Yourself
Please don’t touch, slap, or hit
Or your hand will hurt a bit
Hurting others is not nice
And, if you do, you’ll pay the price
Homework
No homework today, I wonder why?
Please don’t make excuses or start to cry
Do your work and turn it in
Or you will write this once again
Calling Names
I promise that I won’t call names
I will not fuss or shift the blame
Better choices will be made
Or I’ll return to 2nd grade
Unsigned Notes
Take home notes for the folks to sign
Or you’ll be sad at recess time
Notes are sent for your own good
So bring them back just like you should
Following Directions
Simple directions aren’t hard to follow
But most excuses are hard to swallow
Do what you’re told and give it a rest
And trust that your teachers know best
Talking In The Hall
You were talking in the hall
Or you were talking to a wall
We all must pay for our crimes
So please write this poem 50 times
Leaning Back In Your Chair
Please don’t lean back in your chair
Or from me you’ll receive a glare
When you fall, you are defenseless
That hard floor will knock you senseless
Fred Sanford Club(Messy Desk)
We have this club to honor Fred
His junkyard has long been dead
That old red truck may be gone
But your desk carries his tradition on
Playing In Class
One should never play in class
If one really wants to pass
The point is made, it should be clear
Otherwise, come back next year
Out Of Your Seat
No one said to leave your seat
So sit a spell, get off your feet
No one here called for a clown
Park it now or get tied down
Tapping On Your Desk
Tap, tap, tap, I hear a sound
And now the culprit has been found
The punishment will be a bummer
Keep your day job, you’re no drummer
Throwing Objects
I’ve seen better arms on a chair
About the rules, you must not care
No one should behave this way
There are laws you must obey
Out Of Line
Out of line, in more ways than one
What happens now will not be fun
Things will change, there is no doubt
So shape it up, or ship it out
Cheating
Shame on you, why did you cheat?
Perhaps this grade you should repeat
A cheater never goes too far
And all will know just who you are
Foul Language
One should never curse in class
Words can hurt, offend, harass
Now you’re on a slippery slope
Where Mr. Mouth meets Mr. Soap
Tuck In That Shirt
Should we have a talk about your shirt?
Tuck it in, what would it hurt?
It really is an easy job
You really don’t want to be a slob
Forgery
If I wasn’t mad, I would laugh
Because this is your autograph
You’ve gone too far, you’re out of line
I asked for your mom or dad to sign
Restroom Trouble
There is one place we all must go
The restroom, potty, or el bano
Get in and out, don’t make us wait
This is no place to congregate
Bus Problems
What did you do on that bus?
You caused a mess, a stir, or fuss
That yellow bus has its rules
You now may have to walk to school
Lying
Liar, liar, pants on fire
My patience with you will soon expire
I can’t believe the things you say
The road you’re on leads the wrong way
Stealing
If your hand is caught in the cookie jar
You’ll find yourself behind steel bars
Life at school won’t seem too rough
When your wrists are locked in cuffs
Sent To The Office
You were kicked out of the room
You’re like a bomb when it goes boom!
Why do you behave this way?
What will your poor family say?
Bad Cafeteria Manners
This is a lunchroom, not a farm
Were you raised in someone’s barn
At the table, please be neat
And please sit quietly in your seat
Fighting
You just can’t go and use your fists
Every time that you get dissed
When I look at you, I don’t see
A Foreman, Frazier, or Ali
Tardy Again
Please try to get to school on time
And everything will be just fine
You really need to give your all
Perhaps you need a wake-up call
No book for class
Libro, Libro, no esta aqui
Trouble, trouble has found me
I cannot read without a book
And my teacher gives me evil looks
No-show Jones
Your new name is no-show Jones
While we’re at school, you’re at home
Right now the teachers are annoyed
As an adult, you’ll be unemployed
Chewing gum
What do you think you’re doing
Is that gum I see you chewing?
You might chew yourself to death
But at least you’ll have good breath
Eating in class
Hey there Mr. Crunch-n-munch
We’re in class not at lunch
You are being very rude
Close your mouth, I see your food
Skipping class
I can’t believe you skipped class
And I just cannot let it pass
Frankly, what you did was weak
This is school, not hide-and-seek
Substitute teacher
A substitute is a special guest
So let me get this off my chest
You know I love to bust a rhyme
So you will write this 20 times
Library behaviour
The library is a quiet place to read
And if you do, you will succeed
We read up north and down south
Open your book, not your mouth
Passing notes
We don’t pass notes or pass the buck
It looks as if you’re out of luck
What you did was not bright
Now you have something real to write
I.S.S.
This is your home away from home
Through the halls, you will not roam
On your face I see a frown
Life is not fun when you’re locked down
Talking to the teacher
Are you talking back to the teacher?
You are a rude little creature
Please learn how to co-exist
Or you’ll end up on the indoor recess list
Rolling Eyes
It’s not polite to roll your eyes
I think you better recognize
It would be a shame if they got stuck
Then you would be out of luck
Wasting Time
If time is money and money is time
Then you wouldn’t have a dime
I never even have to ask
Because I see that you’re off-task
Smacking Lips
I don’t like those smacking lips
Or those hands there on your hips
Your behavior is very crude
You’d better find a better mood
Skipping Class
Why do you want to ditch my class?
That really is no way to pass
Come to class, gain some knowledge
Save the skipping until after college
Stare Down
A person should not scowl and stare
Every time life seems unfair
Be sure you want that choice made
Because no one here will be afraid
Legibility
Legibility means able to be read
Your writing hurts my eyes and head
Poor writing leads to derision
Unless you are a great physician
Back Turner
Don’t turn your back while I’m speaking
Unless it’s trouble you are seeking
In this class, we do things right
Which means we’ll always be polite
Uncovered Book
Can’t judge your book by its cover
It isn’t there, you need another
The cover’s job is to protect
Your poor book get no respect
Borrowing
Borrow and steal are not the same
Courtesy is the name of the game
If you have to get a loan
Give it back before you go home
Teacher’s Desk
My desk is like the Twilight Zone
It’s better if it’s left alone
I cannot stress this rule too much
If it’s on my desk, do not touch!
Noisy class
Listen up girls and boys,
You need to stop with all the noise.
Pay attention, sit up straight,
Or for recess, you'll be late.
Shuffeling feet
Was that a squeeky seat?
Or the shuffeling of your feet?
Freeze and hush, feet on the floor,
Or cleaning the boards will be your chore.
Hands on
Hey! Don't push and shove,
That behavior, I'm sick and tired of.
Think with your heart, not your might,
Disrespect is just not right.
Whineing
What foul sound upon the air,
It sounds like someone who doesn't care
I used to hear it all the time,
But alas, I think it's only a whine.
Homework not complete
Missed doing your homework last night?
Questions too hard? Answers not right?
You need to try, give it a shot,
And ask for help, when you don't feel so hot.

That was great!
