    In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline(惩戒) students in several ways. The teacher often writes or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the student's parents. Sometimes students have to stay at {#blank#}2{#/blank#}for an extra hour. If a student behaves {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, the headmaster can suspend (勒令…休学) the student. The student cannot come to school for one, two, or three days, Sometimes, when the headmaster suspends some students, they are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "A three-day vacation!" they thought.

    Mr Lazares, a headmaster, didn't like to suspend students. When the boy who was not behaving well in class was sent to his {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, Mr Lazares telephoned the boy's parents. "If you come to school with your son, I won't {#blank#}6{#/blank#} him having classes," he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Other students stared at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that, he behaved better.  He didn't want his father to come to school {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Other students behaved better, too. They thought, "I don't want my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}to come to school!"

    That year, about 60 parents came to school with children who didn't behave well. The next year, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}parents had to come to school. The students were behaving better.
