One Florida father is trying to punish his son for his failing grades by using peer pressure.

Michael Bell, Sr. was upset by the fact that his son came home with three F’s on his report card, so came up with an unusual way to teach the self-proclaimed ‘class clown’ a lesson.

Throughout his spring break, Michael Bell, Jr. had to stand at the corner of a busy intersection in Miami while wearing a poster that told passers-by about his bad grades.

The teen had to wear a poster that read ‘Hey, I want to be a class clown. Is it wrong?’ on his front side.

On his back, there was a longer explanation for inquisitive drivers: ‘Hey, I’m in the 7th grade and I have an ‘F’ for the semester. Is anything wrong with that. Blow your horn if you don’t think so. Thank you!!!’

Like all teens who are concerned about their reputations, young Michael took the lesson to heart. ‘I don’t like it, but I know that it was my fault that it got to this point.’

Michael’s father Michael, Sr. was with his son throughout the punishment to make sure that nothing bad happened.
