I remember a teacher asking us to get down on our knees as a punishment for not writing homework or something. We had to stand on knees infront of the class.

Fortunately for us, that teacher left the school next year and from what I have heard he have gone to US. (God save the kids in the US)

To clarify in case it was not clear, I was not talking about punishments for kids.

I was saying that if you are a lot taller than a student, and you are in a one-on-one situation, it can be beneficial for the teacher to get down on the knees, so that you are looking the student right in the face as you are talking.

Yes. It was clear from your first comment. When kept near the punishment discribed in the post, it just reminded me of someone.
