Sorry, I suppose this assumes some familiarity with the Ameircan school system. Traditionally when someone is misbehaving in class their name gets put on the blackboard. Sometimes a few ticks are added for additoinal offenses eventually resulting in being sent to the principal's office.

It was the only thing I could think of to counter reception of a gold-star. Which I might as well explain just in case. Often Kindergarten and first grade teachers will award well-behaved students with stickers. Sometimes they keep a bar chart of the class, and students might have silver or gold stickers added to their bar.

UPDATE: Thought this might be relevant :-D
