During the early colonial settlements children were seen as young adults and their punishments could be harsh but if they were proven not to know any better they could be shown some mercy
Stocks
The most known and common punishment was the stocks where there were three holes where criminals placed there arms and head for continuous hours a day.

Phone Usage
One of the most broken rules here at Vance Mr. Ray believes that phones are the most abused privileges here at school especially in the lunchroom. People have the right to use their phones in the lunchroom yet they still abuse this rule by having them in the classrooms and hallways. (The office ladies have confiscated at least 30 phones this year)
