When Ricky was in 3rd grade, he decide that he had enough of school and wasn’t going back. The principal of #9 in Port Reading was Mr. Brown. He knew exactly how to “solve” this problem (I guess it wasn’t the first time). So he told Ricky that he could stay home but while school was in session he had to stay in his room with no toys, or books, and no TV. He couldn’t do anything until 3:30pm when school was over. After 2 or 3 days Ricky had enough and wanted to go back to school but Mr. Brown said no, he had to stay a whole week. The following week Ricky was glad to get back to school and never dropped out again!
