School Detentions

[Gimgak]

There is no law saying you can put a student on detention, though, and therefore if there isn't, forcing someone to do something, or go somewhere is illegal.

There is no law saying dotDavid can post on ForumPromotion... damn thats over 3,000 offenses there...

School detention....
When I have school detention you just sit in a big hall for about an hour and watch the clock tick past.. FUN.

Oh well, If you get one, you've probaly deserved it. But getting detention for untucked shirts annoys me 😡

It goes both ways. Detentions seriously help no one, and it causes more work for the staff. Many kids cause even more trouble in detention.

Still, it is a form of punishment. No one likes it, and kids hate being there.

God, you must go to a very strict private school. Here the only dress code that we have is:
*No underwear/bra can be visible (rarely enforced)
*No midriff exposed
*Nothing illegal on clothing (ex. You can't come in with a tee shirt that says "Potheads USA"
*Teachers can ask you to remove hats

Lol, nice.

Gee, that sucks. 🙁

We had uniforms and if we came to school with something else (and didn't have a note from our parents), we got three strikes before detention. It used to be one strike, but I'm not sure why they changed it. 😛

I really think Detentions are the best managed thing in my school, and they are given fairly. You get lunch detention if you are tardy to class more than 3 times. You also get detention if you break an ymajor rules.

IDC about detentions, I never get them.

That's even stricter than my school *takes picture of chick wearing a bra and that's all* (That's actually happened before. Sure, she was stoned, but still...

Do you live in a city?

My teacher has them, but, if I get one, I wouldn't go.

That is our set of rules too! Seriously 😛

Except many time rule one is always broken.

Thats just way beyond the point. The law does not enforce detentions as a form of punishment, and so why must students go to detention? Thats the point.

 

[Justin]

Because it is a form of showing them their misbehavior. That is how to teach them to become mature adults. You may not think it works, but it does.

 

[Nebulous]

Oh please, detentions are nothing like the whips and such they used to use as punishment only a generation ago. Suck it up, because if you have a detention, you've probably deserved it.

Amen sistah.

 

[David]

You may not think it works, but it does.

Again, way off track, not the purpose of this discussion. And where did I say it isn't effective?

If its not a form of punishment which is enforced by law then why should it be allowed or practiced?

How is practicing something which is not enforced by law going to help someone learn what is right from wrong?

Mostly they do Lunch Detentions at my school. After school detentions are generally obsolete. But as for the legality of it in this topic, I support it totally. You should absolutely be able to be issued a detention afterschool, and be required to go.

First off, I did not say that you said it didn't work. I was simply bringing it up.

Why does everything have to be law enforced. What about when your parents grounded you and sent you to your room when you were little. That isn't enforced by law.

EDIT: @Irviding: Same at my school. I agree totally with that.

Parents are legally responsible for the actions in which their child is doing, until the age of 18, so such things are permitted in order to keep their child under control, pertaining it doesn't involve corporal punishment etc.

I'm saying that you don't need to attend detention since as a law abiding citizen, you follow and interpret the law. If you follow the law, then you can't be required/forced to attend detention.

(btw guys, great discussion 😉)

 

[Justin]

:lol:

Yeah, anyways, you are going to a public school (scenerio) that is funded by the government. You go there and get educated. If you cannot follow their simple rules, 30 minutes after class is not the end of the world. It is 30 minutes. On top of that, if you have a problem with getting a detention because you did something wrong in the first place, you should really be. Yeah.

All I am saying is, when you go to somewhere that is free, don't you think you should follow the rules, and if not, make up for it with 30 minutes. You can't expect them to just lets kids run free.

Laws are generally nonexistant in a school for the most part. You are stripped of your liberties as a student I hate to say. Teachers can take your phones, they can order you around, they can keep you after school , but that's not to say if you parents don't want you kept for detention that they can't pull you out, if I were a parent and the school told me I can't take my kid out of detention I'd tell them to go fuck themselves, it's my kid. Still though, as long as your parents aren't against it, you shouldn't be able to just leave the school and spout some legal law abiding BS.

 

[David]

That's not really the case. Students just don't want to get into trouble, do all the visit the teacher thing, and calling the parent situation. They just don't want that to happen. I think getting a lecture from your parents is far worse than your teacher.

Also, the law does permit the principal to remove a student from the school if they cause trouble etc. (Australia at least)
