"Honk if You Hate Bullying"
When Jose Lagares found out his 4th grader was bullying other kids, he punished his son. He grounded him and even made him do hard labor, but nothing seemed to work. Then Mr. Lagares came up with a creative idea. He made his son stand on a street corner with a large sign that said: "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." Mr. Lagares said "It was just the final straw, and it seemed to work."
When other people found out about this news story, there was a public outcry. Some people thought this was an awful idea and that Mr. Lagares was bullying his own son. Others supported Mr. Lagares unusual idea. But Mr. Lagares still believed in what he did and stood out on the corner with this own sign that said, "I'm not sorry. Honk to stop bullying."

I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because many people will disagree. Some people will think it is cruel that he is punishing his son. Even though some people may see the sign, it might not be effective. Some people may honk, but they might just find it as a joke and not do anything. The father probably shouldn’t have punished his son like that, even though it was the only thing he could do. People could think that is was cruel of his father to do that, so they might argue against bullying. I think Mr. Lagares’ creative idea to punish his son was a bad idea because people could take it the wrong way and bullying could worsen.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because he will learn to not bully. If he learns that he will probably not do bad stuff. That’s why I think its a bad idea.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because this shows his son how it feels to feel what he is doing to other kids his age. Some children are insecure and do not experience bullying the same way. They could find a small thing to others very hurtful and offensive. Mr. Lagares’ idea will help stop his son’s bullying habits and let other kids feel safer around him. His son will understand what he is doing to others wouldn’t want to feel that himself.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it taught the kid that bullying is not cool. When so many people honked, that showed him how many people hate bullying. And there is no excuse to doing it, because if you are that insecure, then you should talk about it with someone. I think that if there was a reason that that fourth grader was bullying, then now he’d talk about it with his Dad, or someone. Now that so many people showed their support of non-bullies, it will certainly show that kid how much that probably hurt those kids that he bullied. This is why I think that hid Dad’s idea was a good one.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because it is just a sign for viewing. I highly doubt anybody will pay attention to it. Even if they do, I don’t think they will have a positive reaction. Forcing your child to stand on a street corner is definitely not the way to get him or her to stop bullying. I believe that the father just refuses to think of other ways of punishing his son.
I think Mr. Lagares’ creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because no kid should be bullied every day. The dada made a good choice by doing that to his kid. It embarrassed him and all of his friends probably saw it and when he went to school the kids made fun of him. The father did the right thing by standing out there with his kid. All adults should do this to there kids if there kids start to bully other kids or class mates.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because no one will really pay much mind to someone holding a sign while standing at the corner of the street. Also, I think doing this would embarrass the child. Some may think that embarrassing the child would teach him a lesson, but I think that he would be embarrassed and the embarrassment would turn into anger. Therefore, I think that the kid would take out his anger on the kids he was bullying and the problem would worsen. This proves my point that Mr. Lagares’ idea was in fact bad.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it will show how other people that are being bullied show how it feel to be out in public. It will show kids that bulling it not good it is cruel and not right. I think the father did the right thing. Maybe it will show kids that it isn’t right to bully people in any way. Hopefully it will stop kids that bully people. I think Mr. Lagares did treat this situation good and his son will stop bulling.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because kids could be embarrassed and learn what it feels like to be bullied and embarrassed. Kids are being bullied day by day and I think it was a good idea to have the child hold up the sign so he could know how the people he bullies feels. When kids are bullied they really want to give the bully a taste of his own medicine. I think this idea is showing that in a less harmful way. I know how you feel on how this is a bad idea, but really its teaching this kid a lesson nobody is brave enough to teach. I think what that father did was right and he is one of the only ones taking action in this situation.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because if he knows what bullying fells like then he’s less likely to do it again. But I think that the wording of the sign could be different the “I hate”. But I can relate to why other people could think it’s bad. They might think that theirs another way to deal with it. Also maybe they think that the father is bullying the child. So in the end I think that what the father did was a good thing to do.
I think Mr. Lagares’ creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully.

I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because other parents will start to punish kids for bullying and other kids will have a better life. His son was bullying at school and his punishment was very fair. If someone didn’t agree with Mr. Lagares' idea then he would hold up a sign by himself which said “I am not sorry!!! Honk to STOP bullying”. That is why I think this creative idea will stop bullying.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because I think it’s a good idea because he should learn not to bully. He doesn’t probably know why he is doing it. He just wants to blend in with the cool kids. I think that he should learn not to bully the same kid. If he doesn’t learn to stop bullying the same kid then that kid that is getting bullied might do something that that could hurt him or could hurt his family. The kid getting bullied might even do something that could be bad to the bully and the bully’s family.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because all he did was turn around and bully his son. If that child was my son I would have beaten the bullying out of him in my own home and privacy. Not handle it the way he did in public. He claims that his child still bullied after he punished him, but if he beat him or treated him the way he treated the kids that me bullies I am pretty sure that he would have stopped bullying. The way he handled the situation was overall not appropriate.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because who ever is the child doing it will be embarrassed in pubic. The child will most likely be so embarrassed that he will never bully again. Also the child who is doing it will most likely be on the internet for the rest of his life. This will make it so he would reminder himself every time he is on the internet he will see his old bully self and it will remind him of what he had to do when he was a bully. This may also make other kids think different about bullying. The other kids may see what can happen if your a bully and they probably wont do it ever.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it would teach the kid that bullying is bad. It would because if people are saying that the dad is bullying the kid then maybe the kid will know what it feels like and stop. If a lot of cars honk then the kid will see how many people are against bullying. Also if harsh labor and being grounded wont stop him then making him stand outside isn’t that bad. I think that Jose Lagares’s idea is a great one.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because
The kid is learning lesson. Jose’s son has done the crime so he has do time.
Jose’s son will know how to stop with discipline. It isn’t nice to bully and no one should do it. So that is why I think Jose made a good decision on showing his son on why it is awful to bully.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it will prove to the bullies that it is not okay to bully. Also, I thought this was a good idea because it will show drivers how bad kids are getting with bullying. Another reason I think it was a good idea was because then the drivers and passengers will think about what they do before they do it. But I also think it is a bad idea because it would distract drivers from driving. Finally, Mr. Lagares' idea to conquer bullying was a good idea.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because when people drive by the sign they either honk the horn or they don’t. Most of the people probably honked there horn because they hate bullying.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it lets the bullies that bully kids feel the pain that they gave to the other kids they picked on. That might help stop bullying around the world. but I also think it is a bad idea because people don’t need to know the kids information on what he does its kind of sad. The boy deserved getting punished but not in public. Also some bullies pick on kids because of there stress they are feeling if they lost a family member or if they get treated bad at home. Maybe when that boy was in school he got bullied when he was little, now he doing it back. But that’s were lots of the bullying comes from, its not like they are bad people but they are just taking it out on other people.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because his kid must be punished for the wrong he has done. His child bullied kids in his school and his dad grounded him and nothing worked. So I think his father made the right decision to make his child stand out on the corner and hold the sign. The child must stop his bullying and obviously the bullying stopped after he held the sign.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying. I think this because if he is a bully he could bully other kids for making fun of him. Also because there could be predators on the street where he holds the sign. Also he could get angry at his dad and start a fight with his dad. Also he could wander onto the street and get hit by a car.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because... The reasons I do is because the kid really had no rights bullying. And the fact that the father is against his own son. I thinks its pretty cool. Also having public humiliation helps for the kid to stop. Reason being is that the kid knows his father will never do it again. I also think the public humiliation will help his son to stop bulling in school. Also now that everybody knows he’s a bully he will have extra hard time making friends. Also being on the corner of a main road will most likely have 5 times more honks and people following his father to help the kid stop.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because a kid who keeps on bullying even though he has been told to stop several times by his father. He should be given this punishment because he has not learned his lesson yet. People should know that he is a bully and people should honk so he can learn his lesson so he will not do it again. I think this is a good punishment for they bully that has been bullying many kids.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because most people know how it is to be bullied. If someone was bullied they should have honked their horns because bulling could traumatize many people and scar their live forever. This is also a way in my opinion how someone could release stress after all those years of bulling. So, I see this lesson for the boy could defiantly help him stop bullying
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because this is only one kid who has been caught multiple times. I don’t think a lot of parents are going to go to this drastic measurement of punishment. Also this will only stop this one child from bullying it really won’t effect other bullys. The people who are driving by will either take it extremely serious or will make a joke out of it, it is hard to take serious when the father responds to the peoples comments and does the same thing that he had his child do.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because... the little boy is learning a lesson and really getting a shot of punishment inside of him. His friends probably do not want to hang out with him anymore because they think he is not cool anymore.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it will teach the child what it feels like to be bullied. Mr. Lagares says that he tried other ways to stop his son from bullying but none of them worked. Mr. Lagares also says "It was just the final straw, and it seemed to work.” A friend of Mr. Lagares friend says "It wasn't as if he disciplined him and sent him off to be disciplined or isolate him. He was still right here with him." Mr. Lagares goes on to say "I refuse to allow my child to be somebody else's pain. Ya know, we don't need another Columbine, and we don't need another Solomon Harris. Ya know, we don't need that to happen, and I refuse for my child to be the cause of that."
I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because his kid must be punished for the wrong he has done. His child bullied kids in his school and his dad grounded him and nothing worked. So I think his father made the right decision to make his child stand out on the corner and hold the sign. The child must stop his bullying and obviously the bullying stopped after he held the sign
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it would be very embarrassing for the kid. I believe the dad really wanted to stop bulling, maybe because he had bad history with bullying. I also think working hard and making the child be honest was a good idea because a lot of people hate bullying. This is why I think this is idea is a very good idea.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." But I don’t think it will stop bullying. I think it was a good idea because it shows his kid that’s how other kids feel when they are bullied by him. It makes kids feel embarrassed when they are bullied and the kid probably felt embarrassed when he had to hold the sign on the corner of a street. I don’t think it will stop bullying because kids don’t think that their parents would give them that kind of punishment. The punishment he gave his son was unusual and many parents wouldn’t think of doing that kind of punishment to their kids. I also think that most kids would stop after getting punished once.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because bullying is a growing issue. I think that this will help bullies realize that bullying is bad. Also that you will be punished if you get caught bullying. Mr. Lagares idea might be embarrassing but he gave his son many opportunities to change his ways
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." I think that because it was right for that dad to do that. I think that because that kid probably felt embarrassed when he was holding that sign. To be honest I would have honked my car horn if I had a car. I would do that because I really hate bullies because I was bullied for a while. But, then of course I told the teachers and adults about it and they stopped the bullies.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because it is just plain dumb. It is a really dumb punishment. I think that it is child abuse if you make your son do hard labor.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. I think it is a good idea because it shows that people don’t like bullying and want it to stop. It will stop bullying because that is one less bully that can’t attracted other bullies. It will stop bullying because then the parents that want there kids to stop bullying others will know a punishment and then this will spread all over the world. It will spread through the world and then it will be a great solution to stop bullying. Those are some ideas to stop bullying and how I think mr. Lagares idea is a good idea.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because teaching his kid not to bully was obviously not working so the father tried something new. So he made his kid go out on the corner and have him hold up a sign that says ‘’I am a bully, honk if you should stop bullying’’. The reason why the father did that was because the father punished him by doing hard work and nothing was working so the father tried something new. Most people honked from the sign because they wanted to stop bullying. People all around the world should try to stop bullying.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because if there was a kid in the car and he honk maybe that the kid would stop bullies. Also the parents that have bullies as kids, they can tell them to stop.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because people might see what might happen and tell their kids what might happen if they bully. This also could warn bullies and give an idea to adults or teachers. Kids could tell friends who are bullies and with luck end bullying. I don’t think he will bully anymore it must have been humiliating.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because It could tell the people driving, and walking, and even him Know how bullying feels. According to the website, the last paragraph in the news story he would have felt nervous but good because he won’t have to worry about bulling as much as having fun. Another reason it is a good idea is because he will have to deal with it in life. Everyone actually has to deal with life. For example it may be rough in the beginning, but he will need some help, and strategies if the bulling continues one day. Another reason is that he will be able to know what’s right, and wrong!
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because Mr. Lagares’ son will realize what it feels like to be bullied. Bullying is a cause that makes kids feel insecure about themselves and I think that Mr. Lagares’ creative and unique idea to put his son out on the street and see what people think was a great idea, but I think that it will only affect him and he will stop bullying but at the same time other kids will still bully unless their parents make them feel insecure and embarrassed like Mr. Lagares’ did. His son did a wrong thing in many ways and if other kids don’t want that to happen to them then they should think twice before bullying. Who knows? It could happen to you. Bullying happens all around the world and I think this consequence that Mr. Lagares’ gave to his son will help some parents to teach their kids about the cause and effect of bullying. Unfortunately, bullying will still continue to happen around the world, but if parents like Mr. Lagares’ try hard to stop this terrible thing we will improve our world and take down BULLYING. That is why I think Mr. Lagares’ idea was very creative and plainly just a good idea!!!
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it puts the child that is bullying in the place of the innocent children who are the targets. I do think it was a good idea to stop his child but I am skeptical about if it will work for all children. Some children have other personal problems that cause them to such things that adults don’t understand. It is a good thing for Mr. Lagares' to have posted the passage afterwards explaining about how important it is to stop because it makes me really want to support his ideas. It makes feel good to see people taking part in stopping bullying.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully.

It is also a good idea because he could learn his lesson.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because his son is being embarrassed. A good punishment would be to take all of his electronics away. He could also have his son not hang out with his friends for a few months. He also could make his son have detention after school by talking to teachers. Or he could make his son dress in a shirt that says im a wimp.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully.

It will make other kids think before they bully.

Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because the bully needs to be taught that bullies don’t have friends, and he won’t have any friends. Another reason why I think this is a good idea is because the kids he bullied were bullied in front of many people, and so does the bully, except out in public.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea t¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬o punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully.

I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because its just showing that he can bully his son and abuse him. They could find a small thing to others very hurtful and offensive. Mr. Lagares’ idea will help stop his son’s bullying habits and let other kids feel safer around him. His son will understand what he is doing to others wouldn’t want to feel that himself.

Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it teaches him to not do it to others. He will now know what it is like to be bullied. It will also teach him what the other kids he bullied felt like when he bullied them. That is why I think this is a good idea on how to punish him.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because... Many other students are also bullies. The son of Mr. Lagares’ isn’t just going to listen because of a sign. Its takes more then embarrassing them in public to change a kids life from a bully to a normal confident student. Many other students deserve the punishment too, Not just him. This is why I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because his son will learn what it feels like to be bullied or be in that position. Some kids are insecure when they are being bullied so when his son was standing on the corner he might have been feeling the same way. I think it was a creative idea if all the other things weren’t working.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because this will embarrass the kid in public. This is a reasonable punishment because the kid has embarrassed his family by creating a horrible impression on all the kids at school. This would embarrass the kid so much that he will back down from bullying, for a long, long time. Hopefully, this can make the other kids that bully at his school back down because they're afraid of their parents doing the same thing to them.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a bad idea. Making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." will not help stop bullying because... Many other students are also bullies. The son of Mr. Lagares’ isn’t just going to listen because of a sign. Its takes more then embarrassing them in public to change a kids life from a bully to a normal confident student. Many other students deserve the punishment too, Not just him.

Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it will help him to know the feeling of being bullied. Hopefully he will stop bulling other kids and accept his unusable punishment. Also I would not suggest the punishment to other parents but hearing what he had done before that didn’t work I think it’s acceptable. What I don’t think is acceptable is the father standing on the corner with his own sign saying he’s not sorry. In conclusion I think sanding outside with a sign was an acceptable punishment.
Although Mr. Lagares’ form of punishing his child was very creative, I also think it was very cruel. The sign said “I am a bully” so some people may have thought he was admitting to his bold actions, and he was going to stop. If I were to see his father standing with him, I would have immediately thought that it was a punishment. I think this is bad because Mr. Lagares was basically bullying his own child. Mr. Lagares’ child might have known what it was like to be bullied then, but I don’t think that it would change anything. Most bullies have problems at home; and this would have been a problem: a cruel punishment from your own father. Bullying gets more serious towards high school and middle school, but Mr. Lagares’ child was only in fourth grade. There is not much he could have done, except call other kids rude names. I am not saying that it is okay, but it’s not the worst kind of bullying.

This idea will not stop his bullying but may cause more. He should talk to his son instead of abusing and harassing him. It may help him feel what it feels like to be bullied, but it will just cause more stress which leads to more anger.

So they will learn to stop bullying and speak up. This is why I think it’s a good idea

I think that it was perfectly fine for Jose Lagares to punish his son the way he did. His son is in 4th grade in Ft. Hood, Texas and he was a bully. No matter what Jose did, his son wouldn’t stop bullying. So, Jose Lagares decided to make his son wear a sign that said, “I am a bully. Honk if you hate bullies!” His son wore this sign on a busy street corner. I think it was fine to do what he did because hid son wasn’t stopping his bullying, not even when he was grounded or when he had to do hard labor. This is a smart and humiliating punishment for Jose Lagares’ son, which is just what he needed to hopefully stop his bullying.
I think this is a good idea to have his son hold up a sign that said I am a bully. I think it is a good idea because after his dad told him many times to stop bullying other people he just wouldn’t. so, the dad came up with an idea after he told him many times to stop. If this was I kid who wasn’t a bully and you did that to your kid then that would be a bad idea. You would actual bullying your own soon. I think this was a good idea.

It will also help regular people notice how many bullies there are, then maybe they will help try to stop bullying.
I think that Jose Lagares’s method of stopping his 4th grade son from bullying is good. I think that because Mr. Lagares has tried every thing else: hard labor, chores, and even grounding his son over, and over, and over again; it seems that this is the only hope he has left of stopping his son bully other kids. Also, the method has a very strong chance of stopping his son. One way is by stopping him by embarrassing him, when he is out in the street corner, and especially with all those people driving by, seeing him, with that sign on him. Another way is by Mr.Lagares, even, standing in another intersection, embarrassing his son even more! The final way is by bringing down his self-esteem, making it hard for him to scare other kids, enabling him to scare other kids; this is avery, very good way to stop his son from bullying other kids in fourth grade.
