Truants face pigsties

A Romanian high school has introduced a new punishment for students who miss classes - cleaning the pigsties.

Officials of the Ion Mincu High School, in Vaslui, introduced the move because they said traditional punishments were no longer effective.

They believe the pigsty punishment will motivate students not to miss classes without good reason as "besides the dirty work they will suffer colleagues' irony".

Headmaster Dan Magureanu explained: "This way, we believe slackers have a good chance to know how their future will look like if they don't come to school and perform their duties."

The new punishment, to be performed at the school's own farm, was decided after consultations with students' parents.
