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 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 be a lager punishment then having to do chores. Also, this punishment will prevent any future bullies because current bullies will be frightened of this punishment. Then, they will not even think about bullying. Although this punishment does seem harsh, the punishment is necessary. This punishment is very creative and smart.
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is an interesting 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,” may work for some kids who bully, but I think it is a little harsh. Using the word hate is a little harsh. I think doing what Mr. Lagares did is a good idea for some kids, but not all. I also think that that treatment shouldn’t be used for all bullying just for worse scenarios. If the bullying is bad and doesn’t stop after being acknowledged then I believe that this method of punishment should be taken into consideration, but if the bullying is not as serious and the person stops after the bullying is acknowledged, then this method should be dismissed.
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 them a lesson. It will embarrass them in public. Hopefully it teaches them a lesson about bullying. When kids bully, they deserve punishment and this would be a good punishment. Kids think it is funny to bully other classmates, but it is not! Bullying needs to stop, and this is a great solution.
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 stop bulling people because he knows the consequences of bulling. His dad humiliated him like he humiliates people when he bullies others. Also it may not prevent bulling because it’s not like every parent would make their kids stand on the corner holding a sign that says I’m a bully. Not all bullies would stop because one parent made their kid stand on the corner. Bullies need to 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 bullying is not ok. This will probably make the bully in the situation think twice before he bullies next to time. I bet standing on that street corner with that sign was embarrassing. If it were me I wouldn’t bully again. I would probably not want to stand out with that sign again either.
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 he is bulling his son by making him stand one the street corner and every one that goes by him has to honk. If someone that goes by is in his school could start a roomer about him or his dad. I think if the dad use a different way to punish his son it would make his son think that he couldn’t bully. I think that the son thinks that he could still bully people because his dad is bulling him.
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 definitely will not want to get embarrassed like that ever again, so he will not bully. I think it was smart to do that because he didn’t physically harm him or anything bad like that, he just made him embarrassed thinking it will work. Also I think it is a good thing that he is confident enough in his creative idea to be an upstander and stand with a sign saying “I am not sorry. Honk if you hate bullies!” He was just trying to stop bullying, do the right thing and correct his son and the other kids out there that bully. Although, on the other side it might just make his son mad and make him bully even more. Overall I think that Mr. Lagares’ creative 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 the punishment might make him feel mad and embarrassed so he might bully more because of this punishment. He will want to bully more kids so he does not get made fun of. This also is not a very good idea because the kid will always remember the parent for doing that and might do it to his kids one day so they can feel the same way as he had. That means he would be bullying his own kid and that is not good for the kid. When Mr. Lagares’ did this to his son if the son wanted his kids to feel the same way he would be starting a chain in the family for bullying kids and the son bullying his own kids later on in life and that is not a good thing. This is also a bad thing to do because it might start a chain all over the world and bullying is not a good chain.
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 his son did not enjoy standing on the side on the side of the road so he won’t act that that way again. If he does do it again then his dad might make him do it again. Though I think they could have used a different word then “Hate”, I think it got to people on how bullying effects people. I think the kid that got bullied will thank his dad later.
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 people don’t really listen to signs, people, rules, and lectures about bullying. This is true because if people listened to the rules and people things like bullying and crime wouldn’t happen. Just imagine how Mr. Lagares’ son must feel, he must feel embarrassed. Also, I am pretty sure that all the people that honked at the sign went and told their children about bullying and none of them listened. If that were my child, I would have never done that to humiliate my child and take his dignity.
What Mr. Lagares made his child do was not necessary. If he had just stuck to grounding him, he would eventually learn his lesson and would know to not do it again because of all the suffering from being grounded, and doing hard labor. He made it worse by making his own sign, and not stopping. I would defiantly not be happy if my dad had done what Mr. Lagares had done to his child. Sure, if it was alright, then he would be taught a lesson, but being put through all the hard work that he had to do before the sign, was bad. What Mr. Lagares did, was not necessary and he should not do it again!
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 shows responsibility. It when all the people honk it says that so many people don’t like bullying. Also it shows that the dad cares about what his son is doing and what he teaches his son is important. And when the dad does the same thing with the hateful comments it show that he doesn’t fully care about what other peoples say about him. I hope that this shows a lot of kids not to bully others.
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 bullies don’t realize that they embarrassed the kids that they bullied. So, I think that this teaches the bullies a lesson. Also, to have people honk because they dislike bullies shows bullies that a lot of people dislike what they do to other kids. Even though I think doing that was a good idea I also disagree because making a fourth grader stand on the side of the street holding a sign that says "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." is a little too tough for him.
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 is a pretty bad punishment. After being publicly humiliated on the street I would stop doing something. Also if other punishments did not work that should; especially if it is for bullying it is not okay to bully. It was also a pretty good bully-free add, I like that.
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 you don’t want kids bullying. It may be a little harsh but some people don’t want to be bullied. Mr. Lagares’ idea was also good because if your son or daughters grade can go down and the person that is being bullied grades can also go down and so will their attendance. It said Mr. Lagares' son did a lot of things he wouldn’t want his son to do if he weren’t a bully but he wouldn’t stop being a bully after he did these things. I think it was a good idea to make his son stop bullying by holding up a sign saying "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate 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 I think that it would be embarrassing. Also, it is a little harsh of him doing that to his son. Mr. Lagares should just ground his son for like a month instead of doing that. You could also have better adult supervision with his son at all time. The person who was being bullied would probably come to school more if the boy stopped bullying him. So, it would be good for both of them.
I think Mr. Lagares' idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea, even though it is a bit harsh. 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 people see that somebody cares about it, then they will be more encouraged to do something. The punishment was a little harsh, but I think it worked. Bullying is a big problem and I’m glad that somebody did something about it. I’m also glad that after Mr. Lagares got a lot of negative feedback on his actions, he stood on the corner with his own sign that said, “I’m not sorry. Honk to stop bullying.”
I think James Madison Charter Academy's unusual approach to bullying is a good idea. Selecting students to be ignored so they can experience bullying is a good idea because sometimes bullies need support to get on the right track. It might have been cruel or embracing, but the kid was bullying repeatedly and they had tried everything. If that’s the thing they need to do to get a bully on the right track then they should.
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 I think it is a harsh punishment. I think the boy made a big mistake but, I think making him right a sign saying “honk if you hate bullies” is a bit harsh because that could hurt the boy mentally. When you hear someone honk it is as if everyone hates you. I think the boy deserved a less harsh punishment.
I think it wasn’t necessarily a good thing for the dad to do because I think he went a little too far with it. Especially using the word hate it’s a very strong word to be using even in a situation like this one. It was probably embarrassing for this child being honked at every like two seconds from people he doesn’t even know. Then having to go to school the next day. If I saw that kid I would probably talk to the parent that’s was making him do it. I know I would be extremely embarrassed.
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 never forget this lesson. Also, this might give some other parents ideas since a lot of people watch the news and word would probably get to the students. Second, word probably got to the students and they don’t want to end up like this kid. Third, a lot of teachers watch the news and they might see it and they might treat you differently, and they might keep a closer eye on you. So after what happened to that kid I think kids got the memo that there are harsh punishments for 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 will make him think about how the victim feels. Also it will humiliate him like he humiliated the victim. People take bullying seriously.
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 shows how severe bullying is and how kids should be punished. I think this is how every bully should be punished. If a parent has a child who is a bully, I feel that they must be punished. Bullying is a very serious matter and no one should do it. Thank you Mr. Lagares!
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 now some kids might know “okay this kid’s dad did this maybe my dad will make me do that.” Or another bully might see this article and maybe they will understand that bullying is wrong or that might be a long shot. Hopefully kids will read this and tell more adults and say hey this happened and some other child’s father will keep using this idea and eventually there might be a shortage of bullies and bullying might end. But again probably a long shot because some parents think this is harsh but I think it’s the beginning of a new era of ending bullying. In some ways this punishment is sort of harsh but at the same time it’s completely relavent.
I think Mr. Lagares' 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 standing on a highway with a sign is useless. If a bully bullies what is the point of standing on the side of the road? It’s like the kind of thing cheerleaders do to raise awareness about bullying. Though, the idea seemed to work for this child, not every bully is afraid of standing out on a sidewalk with a sign. I am not afraid, in fact I find it might be fun to stand with a sign to see how many people hate bullies. Bullies will still be bullies no matter what, unless they have nobody to bully. If this father’s son didn’t think so highly about his pride, than the father could just keep him home. It is as if a person climbs over a fence when the fence is unlocked or there is a door to go through. So, I feel this father’s punishment was pointless.
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,” is a good punishment that will help stop bullying because it teaches a lesson. That was not the first time the boy had a punishment. His dad had him grounded and made him do labor intensive work. Although those punishments would have worked on most kids, this boy kept on bullying. So when the dad finally gave him that specific punishment, it worked because he realized how hated bullying was for some people. I think this punishment was good because it got the message through that it is not okay 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 bulling is not right. Bulling is not right because it usually causes the target to miss school and have low self-esteem. Bullies usually have bad grades and I think that having bad grades is a bad thing. I think that Mr. Lagares’ approach to this situation was spot on because all of his other ideas didn’t work. One of them was even being grounded. This idea however of putting his son on a corner where lots of cars go by and holding a sign that said “I’m a bully. Honk if you hate bullies.” I think that his son has finally learned his lesson that bulling is bad.
Honk! Honk! Mr. Lagare’s idea was a good one, accept it was a little harsh. Standing on a street corner with a sign that said “I am a bully. Honk if you hate bullies.” The sign was pretty much saying that his son hated himself…plus in public?! And Mr. Lagare’s sign said that “… I am not sorry…”. I think that his son got the message. Bullying is serious stuff. You could get in big, I mean BIG trouble. It makes innocent people be ashamed of whom they are, what they are good at, and how they do things. So in a way, I am double sided. It was harsh, but sometimes you have to do things. And don’t remember to honk if you hate bullying!
I think Mr. Lagares' creative idea to punish his son for bullying other kids is a good idea. He is making his son stand on a street corner and hold up a sign that says, "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." So, I think this is a good idea that he did this because it will teach his son to not bully. Also this will stop him from bullying by letting him know what it feels like to be humiliated in public and that it’s not right to bully. It will also teach him to be nice to people instead of being a bully. That’s why I think this 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 it shows people that bulling is wrong. If you get in trouble for bulling people take it seriously because it is wrong and hurts other people. Kids who bully usually have something wrong at home and they feel that if they hurt other people it will make them feel better. The people who get bullied are smaller and don’t have a lot of friends to help them from the bully. I also think that the idea of the dad who gave the punishment was good because it will teach him to stop bullying in the future.
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 bully embarrasses people in front of others. With the sign on the highway it embarrasses him and he knows how it feels. All the other methods didn’t work like making him do chores or grounding him, because they don’t understand how it feels to be the target. Once they are un-grounded and stop doing their chores they go back to the way they were and he still bullies others. When people honk for hating bullies he might understand that it’s wrong and he’ll 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 it’s embarrassing and they wouldn’t do it again. It’s also really embarrassing to say that he was a bully. So, next time he is thinking about bullying someone he will remember the consequence. It will be in his mind when he wants to bully. So, other kids will see it and won’t bully anyone else.
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 tried most punishments to stop him bullying. None of those were as harsh as his latest punishment. Words that were on the sign like “hate” were too harsh. That is like saying that most people hate him. He also bullied one person like how if you were to call the people in the cars bullies, he would feel in the same scenario has that one kid. Most kids in the school probably heard and he would become infamous. The kids would probably start to avoid him, say stuff behind him, and he would probably loose friends which would be too harsh but that kind of stuff in school goes away quickly. Overall I think it’s 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 this will show kids that there are consequences for our actions. I think Mr. Lagares might have goon a little too far, but I definitely will think again before bullying someone else or the same person again. Now Mr. Lagares’s son now knows how it felt to be bullied and he now knows how the kid he bullied felt. That experience probably will stay with Mr. Lagares’s son for the rest of his life and that boy was probably was humiliated in front of everyone just like the boy he bullied felt like. Mr. Lagares probably tried for a long time to have his kid stop from bulling kids and because his son didn’t listen he had to go to extreme measures for this. Lets hope this boy will stop bullying and never again do it again and will never incourage anyone to be a bully!!!!
I think Mr. Lagers' 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 teaches kids that if you bully then you’re going to get punished. It will help kids to understand that bullying is wrong. This punishment will probably tell bullies to stop bullying. Many cars were honking to stop bullying. I do not like bullying if I was driving down that road I would’ve honked. I hope this punishment teaches bullies that there are many consequences to 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 will teach the boy not to do it again. It will encourage bullies not to bully. Also if parents see that their child was bullying someone they could use the same punishment. In the video you could hear many cars driving by and honking. I think this punishment was not cruel. I think the punishment will teach this kid to think twice before he bullies again. But the problem is that the bullying might have turned the target into 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...I think it is a good idea because it is showing the kid this is what it feels like to be bullied. You will then see what people who are bullies and who are against bullies. It is a good punishment because your friend or even the bully can see that this kid got a punishment and said this is what it feels like to get bullied he is probably wondering why am I doing this to other people. I think the son learned and will never bully again and show kids it is not a fun thing to bully or you might be put in my place that is why I agree with Mr.Lagares` punishment. Not only is he making a difference for his kid but is making a difference around the world for 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 what Mr. Lagares did to his son is public humiliation. Why couldn’t he just ground him or something like that, like when someone says think out of the box I don’t think that they would mean something like that. When I think of a fourth grader standing outside holding a sing against his will I think what bad parent. I think that everyone would feel bad for a little kid standing outside in the cold weather. I mean I don’t like bulling but I wouldn’t want to stand outside in the cold weather nobody would
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 his son had made fun of and had humiliated that kid. It wasn’t right in the first place to bully and target one kid. Mr. Lagares had tied grounding and hard labor but that didn’t stop his son from bulling. Making his son stand out there was creative and smart. Hopefully his son finally learned his lesson, not to bully at all. Now I know to never bully or target any kids. In the article Mr. Lagares said "It was just the final straw, and it seemed to work." Hopefully his son finally learned his lesson.
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 bullies need their necessary punishment that they deserve. I think that his punishment was fair because after bullying a kid publicly he deserves “the public” to show him the hatred he has brought upon that poor incident victim. I do think that the word “hate” was too strong of a word on that poster because most of the people reading that sign probably meant they hated him. I think that after what that dad did to his kid he will never bully again.
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 was public humiliation. I think he should have just had an assembly with the whole grade saying he was sorry and that he won’t do it again. I think that his father publicly humiliated him in front of the whole world really because it was on the news. It was a little uncalled for. I think the father would ground his son and just gotten it over with.
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.” went too far. They were on the news and anyone in the world could see that. I feel bad for the boy who had to do that because people were honking and that might make him upset because the sign specifically said “Honk if you hate bullies.” Even though it taught him a lesson I think he should have given him a less mean punishment. I don’t think it’s fair that his friends might make fun of him because of his dad’s punishment. I hope this never happens to him again.
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 his son stop bullying because it makes his son realize what it feels like to be publicly humiliated. This is important because his son will know what the embarrassment feels like and he will not want to make other people feel that way too. This creative punishment was not bullying in my eyes. I think this was equal to any other punishment like hard labor and it’s the only thing that worked. If more people got punishment like this for bullying there probably would be a lot less bullying.
I think Mr. Lagares’ creative idea to punish his son for bulling other kids was 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 stop bulling because if many people honk, that means many people hate bulling, and who wants to be hated? Also, this punishment shows you can get punishments for being a bully, and I don’t know who would want a punishment. Plus, this will show bullies AREN’T wanted. Hopefully this punishment will do the trick on other bullies too, so it can be put to an end. This punishment will show kids who are about to be bullies to not.
I don’t think that Lagares’ should have done that because embarrassing your child in a unfriendly manner is unacceptable. Even though it worked having the son go out on the street holding up a sign saying “I’m a bully honk if you hate bullies”. Bullying is a terrible thing and I would see why Mr.Lagares’ would have tough love through his decision, he did have to tell his son multiple times but he still continued. His decision though could have been not in public which made the son feel horrible. He should have had the punishment been apologize for all of the things he has done too any student or person he has bullied or critized, and also have the students tell him how it felt being bullied or how the words felt when they came out and verbally bully someone, or physically. Yes his son did need the discipline through the kid’s decision with bullying. But certainly not Mr.Lagares’ way.

I think Mr. Lagares idea could stop bullying because it is a creative punishment that shows bully’s how it feels to be humiliated and depending how long the kid has to do this. I don’t think any kid would want to wear a sigh saying I am a bully if you hate bully’s honk. So I do think this a good way to treat bully’s in the long run I guess all that matters is the type of kid were dealing with because not all kids will be affected by this but a lot of them will be
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." Is really embarrassing for him. Nobody should have to do that in public. Instead of making him do that you should talk to the school about the bullying he’s doing or tell him to stop doing it. Mr. lagares shouldn’t have made a sign that says, “I’m not sorry, help prevent bullying.” that is rude to say that. People have a choice to be a bully even if you are being bullied doesn’t mean you should be 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 his kid looks embarrassed in the photo so that shows that he will not bully again, unless he wants to be back on that corner holding the sign again. This would also make him less popular at school because some of his friend’s parents might have drove by and it would be all around the school that he had to do that. If I had to do that I diffidently would not bully again. I feel that more parents should do this to reduce bullying.

Honk if you hate bullies." will help stop bullying because it shows the bullies what it feels like to get bullied or humiliated in public. Mr. Lagares tried to punish his son in many other ways but he kept going back to school and bullying someone else. Also no one likes bullying so why should the son get away with it. Also I think it is good that the bully gets taught a lesson. Over all I believe that Mr. Lagares punishment for his son was very creative a might help prevent future 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 will show other bullies that they will most likely get the same treatment for bullying other kids. I also think the punishment evens things out with the bully and the victim. I personally think that if you do something bad to another person, then you should suffer the same thing that you did wrong. Although I don’t know what Mr. Lagares’ son did, maybe making a sign that says "I'm a bully. Honk if you hate bullies." Is a little harsh for a kid.
