When I taught middle school, I would use it from time to time when we studied advertising methods for language arts (seventh grade curriculum). The kids hated it because they found themselves singing along. As they put it, the songs stuck in their heads for days. I can see where this could be a very effective punishment for those who are musically inclined. I have a CD of children’s TV theme songs.

(If I can find the story - it is in one of my almanacs - I'll come back and post it.) I think this punishment could work for some. For me, it would be a total failure. It also reminds me of the story of a world renowned Canadian poet and percussionist who did a lot of "drumming" with pens and pencils in a class once upon a time in Ontario - St. Catherine's, if I remember correctly. His punishment, as he recalls the story in his book, "Traveling Music"? To drum as such throughout detention. As he sneered in his book, "Some punishment!"
