Rules for punishment in school (5)
I believe the answer is:
lines
I believe this is a triple definition!
'rules' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for punishment' is the second definition.
(writing the same thing over and over)
'in' acts as a link.
'school' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for lines that I've seen before include "old-fashioned school punishment" , "Marks" , "Wrinkles; rail tracks" , "Ranks" , "Actor's text" .)
