For children slacking on their homework in Indonesia, the consequences are much more severe than being grounded by their parents. The police are now enforcing homework hours, and during this time, students must comply or face legal consequences, confirmed by The Impudent Observer’s report:

"The municipality of Bekasi is attempting a rather radical innovation in education by ordering all students within its jurisdiction to study and do their homework or face legal consequences. Education head Kodrato said the new regulations also contain provisions insisting parents devote more time to supervision of the activities of their children. The new regulations require students, from elementary school to high school, to study between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. either at home alone or with classmates from the same neighborhood. During study time, no TV or video game will be alowed and students will be banned from going to the mall or entertainment centers"
