“Pillaging dead bodies, basically dismembering bodies and gnashing of teeth,”  Coach Mac reveals as he describes a typical day in ISS.  In all actuality, a day in ISS is filled with little trouble in which students do their work and learn to hate their punishment.

Upon walking into the ISS building, students take a seat and work for a 45 minute period which ends in a 3 minute break, then back to grindstone.  If a student by chance finishes their work, they then resort to writing from the dictionary.  This is where the hate comes into play.  Coach Mac desires for students to hate ISS so they in turn will think before placing themselves into a position to receive such a punishment.

With Saturday School already having two sessions, Coach explains that the actual punishment is having to get up in the mornings.  School starts at 8 o’clock am and ends at noon.  In the occasion that a student doesn’t attend, they are then assigned to two sessions of Saturday School.

“At the end of every day you want to make one kid, just one kid, a better person,”  Coach Mac explains of his role as ISS teacher.  “It’s all about the relationships.”

ISS students receive the same treatment as Mac’s football team.  “When they do it wrong, chew ‘em.  The minute they do it right, and I mean the minute, praise ‘em.”
