- No computer- many assingments when you reach high school have to be typed up, meaning you need the computer to type the assignments, and more than one program can be opened at once. This allows you to have your homework and something else up at the same time.
- TV- for things like english and business you can claim that you need to watch commercials to watch how the people talk and use words/images to get your attention in a few seconds. It would be best to refresh your memory and not go by what you were not paying attention to a few days before.
- Reading (I love to read so no books is a punishment for me)- you can't read you can't read the notes you write so you have no way to study, reading a book for english or the old way of sticking the book inside of a binder or text book.
If you use the careful and wise, some people are harder to fool than others.

Good ideas. What you said about computers is true. I spend six or seven hours a week night on mine and it's mostly just homework. How do people pass without one? No books sounds hellish. My parents have never gotten so angry they told me not to read. They don't give me punishments they couldn't live with.
heh, smart. Though school hasn't started yet for me so that wouldn't work. The reading one is good though. I'll have to use that. *laughs* either that or read under the covers at night.
Does high school really have that many typed work? That's harsh (more computer though! :P)
I could recite it in my sleep...
The standard high school report/paper:
"Two typed pages, 12 font Times New Roman, double spaced. Title page with name, date, period. Cite sources using MLA format."
But as for punishments... the computer is the main thing the parental units take away from me; mainly because I do spend a large chunk of my after-school-cool-down-do-the-homework-i didn't-finish-at-lunch time. And yes, I use the "but I have a research paper due next Friday" excuse and voila... computer :D
Though... beware of how many times you use the excuse. Parents are clever specimens once they catch on to what's happening. ;)
Good ideas. It also doesn't hurt (if you have siblings/ they aren't complete tattle-tails, which can easily be solved by showing them how this helps when THEY get in trouble)to have a truce with your brother(s)/sister(s). I've got one with my brother. When the parents aren't home and one of us is grounded, as long as we are off by the time our parents come home we are fine. We never tell on each other, it doesn't help that I know a lot of the stupid things my brother has done :)
I use MSN all the time to keep in touch with people all around. When I've got homework or anything (in trouble or not) and my parents ask about the MSN, I tell them that my friends have the same project, and they are helping me/ telling me what they are doing so I don't do the same. Theres plenty of excuses.
My parents can't take away reading, since my whole family enjoys it, and I guess the idea never really crossed them. Otherwise I'd write and read off of that :) Or go off into my world.
