A character is given a line to write over and over and over again as punishment. In the classic version, the character is a child in school, and the line is of the form "I will/must not (do X) in class." Coming up with methods to evade, enliven or simplify this punishment is commonly attempted. These include getting a computer program or magical spell (in Wizarding School) to write the lines automatically, taping multiple pens together so you can write multiple lines at a time (which does not work in Real Life), drawing a vertical line down the page to reduce each sentence by one word (by creating a non-serif 'I' for the phrase 'I must'), farming the lines out to underlings or altering your handwriting so that 'I must not' starts to look like 'I must'. These may be used successfully by a High-School Hustler. Other characters trying this will most likely be caught out and have to redo the work properly. This has become something of a Discredited Trope, as using this as a discipline has fallen out of favor, since many teachers have complained that it has a negative impact on students as it turns writing (something which makes up a bulk of the school curriculum) into a punishment. However, depending on the teacher, it still sees application today in uncommon instances. A variation on this trope is occasionally seen, in which the repeated line is to be spoken (in a deadpan mutter) instead of written. See the sister trope of Paperwork Punishment. Distinct from Madness Mantra and/or Room Full of Crazy in that this is enforced as a punishment on someone, not something a character does of their own decision. |

One Winx Club episode had Griffin, headmistress of a school for witches, temporarily neutralize the Trix by trapping them in a pocket dimension they would be able to leave only after passing several tests and writing various lines on a living blackboard. With one of them being very skilled in illusions and very knowledgeable about the subjects, it kept them busy for barely five minutes, much for the blackboard's chagrin. | |

Harry Potter: Draco Malfoy expects this punishment for breaking curfew in the Philosopher's Stone, but instead has to go with Harry and Neville to help Hagrid locate a wounded unicorn... in the Forbidden Forest... at night... while whatever attacked the unicorn is still wandering around in there. (Keep in mind he's eleven years old, and much more sheltered than Harry is.) The infamous detentions with Professor Umbridge, a Sadist Teacher character in Order of the Phoenix. Harry is forced to write with a quill that doesn't use ink, but as you write, the words are etched onto your hand, and the writing appears on the paper in your own blood. He still has the "I must not tell lies" scar in the last two books. And the wound proper doesn't appear the first time: for Harry to receive the scars, he had to write the line several times, every night of the week, on several occasions. In their sixth year Seamus is set to write "I am a wizard, not a baboon brandishing a stick." This is because he accidentally produces a spout of water (that hits Professor Flitwick in the face) by talking while waving his wand around. After becoming a prefect, Ron fantasizes about catching Gregory Goyle (one of Malfoy's mate) for something, so that he can make him write lines, which he figures would kill him since he's so stupid. He'd have him write "I must not look like a baboon's backside." |

Monty Python's Life of Brian features a scene where Brian is caught by a Roman centurion while he's writing ROMANES EUNT DOMUS on the wall of the amphitheatre. The centurion couldn't care less what the actual message is, he just wants to tell Brian off for his poor Latin grammar ("The people called Romanes, they go the house?") and deliver a strict Latin lesson. Brian is then told to write the corrected message (ROMANI ITE DOMUM, "Romans, go home!") 100 times on the wall before sunrise (which is seen by his fellow rebels as a far more courageous protest than the minor act of graffiti expected of him). But then a less eccentric patrol sees him admiring his work, paint in hand, and Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs. | |

The Bursar recalls a fellow student wizard who invented a machine to write lines for him, however preparing the machine and winding it up took far longer than it would to write the lines (this is a sign of Progress). Nevertheless, other students would queue up and pay to use it, until an experimental multi-quill version exploded. | |

A variant in some older British school stories is that the offender is made to copy out lines of poetry. This crops in, among others, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Stalky & Co. (In the latter, Sadist Teacher Mr. King gets a rare Pet the Dog moment when he reads outnote In fact, King can quote whole reams of Virgil and Horace without ever needing to look at the book, and deliver it as though it were still a living language into the bargain. He's a large annoyance, but a genuine scholar Virgil's The Aeneid to a student who's been sentenced to write out several hundred lines of that work. Really it's just an excuse for keeping the lad company and taking his mind off the upcoming ordeal: the detention means he will miss games practice and thus get caned.) Stalky, Beetle and M'Turk, on the other hand, spend rainy afternoons writing lines pre-emptively, so that when they get punished on a day when they have something better to do, they can use up some of the ones they have banked. |

Space Cadet (Heinlein): One of the cadets resents being pulled up over his lack of table manners, and when told to eat his pie with a fork instead of his hands, insists on getting the order in writing as per regulations. The senior cadet does so without complaint, then gives him another written order telling him to report to his commanding officer. He gets a roasting, and an explanation of why such petty matters are necessary, and an order to write out two thousand times, "I will eat my pie with my fork." | |

Mentioned in Jennings. In the first book, when Temple is giving a comically exaggerated impression of Mr Wilkins to scare the New Meat, he says that he had to write out "The angles at the base of an isoceles triangle are jolly nearly equal" 150 million times. Darbishire takes this literally and tries to work out how long it would take, eventually arriving at a figure of just over 47 years. | |

Happens constantly to Jason in FoxTrot. He tried to automate it with a C++ program twice; once by printing out the lines with the computer to tape it to the blackboard, and once by writing the program directly in chalk. Miss O'Malley didn't accept either attempt. Jason has even written lines in advance, such as "I will not throw paper airplanes during assembly" the day before the actual assembly, explaining he had a doctor's appointment after school and couldn't stay late. |

Le Petit Nicolas: The class is usually punished at the same time, so one story has them stuck inside on a beautiful afternoon (French schoolchildren used to have Thursday afternoons off except for detentions) all writing lines under a teacher's supervision (who would clearly much rather be home). One kid starts to ask a question and is told to be quiet, but when the class is nearly done an hour or so later, it turns out he was asking if he could borrow a pen. The teacher actually sits down and starts doing the kid's lines for him, and when the class leaves they run into the principal... and one kid accidentally gets the whole class in detention. | |
