βš‘οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ² NEW - At a high school in Maine, students who are punished walk in the forest instead of being grounded. This original measure was devised by the 54-year-old guidance counselor, who is passionate about hiking.

Detention has been replaced by 5 km walks, where discussions, poetry readings, and nature take the place of classroom walls, much to the students' benefit.

Detention is supposed to be punishment. Make them scrub toilets or perform forest maintainance or something like that.

Maybe after the first time You might just go hiking yourself πŸ˜‚
