cheating with the rest of the class.

[amietron]

no. :lol: teachers like me.

[bigwong235]

yup. for being late to school. if you're anywhere from 1-30 min late to school, they give you 15 min of detention after school. any later, and it's a full hour.

sometimes they'd cut me some slack, but... damn bastards wanted me in detention. as if i didn't do enough for that shithole school.

My history teacher was in a very bad mood once and said that he'd give detention to anybody that smiled. A couple kids were giggling, but when I flashed a smile, he looked straight at me and shouted, "Detention, after school, my classroom!" I could've skipped that easily, but I felt like putting up an argument. So we started screaming at each other, trying to drown out the other's voice so one of us can be heard. Then he called the vice principal in and I got office detention. Sucks. But at least I got to scream.

You should try it sometime. It's fun!

I only had detention once. And I can't remember what for. I probably told my teacher to fuck off or something.

Detention is just the negative name for study hall...

This reminds me of a rhyme from childhood:

Chinese school has just begun / No more laughing, no more fun / If you show your teeth or tongue / You shall pay a penalty!

Anyone remember that?

[mydnyht]

Yes... one break detention for not bringing in my progress report. It was recently, too. :P It was actually really fun, cuz it was with my homeroom teacher... if it was with the Dean of Students or the Principal, it would have been a whole other story!

[nonamerasian]

One I.S.

I was late for class. It was the school's fault, but because of the newly implemented zero-tolerance policy, no excuses were accepted. If you were late without a note from a parent, you got I.S.

One lunch detention.

A prank I did in fifth grade.

[Kris]

back in middle school i was in it daily. the torture they put you through. writing "i will not be late to class" a 100 times front and back. there was another thing called OCS-On Campus Suspension. i was in it a few times for fighting. the silence kills ya. 30 kids in a room and noone even makes a peep and if anyone does an extra 15 minutes of detention gets added. those unfair bastards :mad:

[Emperor_Mike]

Yes. Many times in elementary school for fighting or instigating fights. Not so much in secondary school except this one time in the 11th Grade when I punched a guy into stomach and face for deliberately knocking a beaker of HCl out of my hand in Chem.

[Mr.Lum]

Nope.

[so_fee_ahh]

Detention for a whole month for putting a frog in this kid's sleeping bag in 5th grade during camp once (remember the whole going to camp as a class?) Yeh, that sucked...a whole month of cleaning chalkboards and organizing bookshelves.

Middle school...I talked too damn much and the teacher always assigned me and my best friend detention...we both had our own desks at the opposite of the room. It was awesome...cuz when she wasn't looking, we'd make paper airplanes and test them out...sending notes that way. :wink:

High school...TARDINESS!!!!! No matter how early I got out of class, I could never manage to get to the other class on time. I remember once, I was just two mintues away from the bell ringing...so I asked this guy if I could jump on his back and he could escort me allll the way to my class on the other side of school (like an camel ride...except this guy was faster than a camel :tongue: !)...I was still late and plus, I got a warning from the principal cuz he saw me ontop of the guy scramming through the halls...something about it not being safe and inappropriate? :rolleyes: (That guy was so weird...he was a former DJ, you thought tha dude would be cool or something.)

[SunWuKong]

i only ever got detention for being late. but i never thought it was a big deal. they didn't make us clean the chalkboards or anything. we just had to sit there and be quiet. i just used the time to do my homework.

i turned 18 in the beginning of my senior year, and at that point i was allowed to sign my own notes to the teacher. i actually printed out a whole bunch of copies of a note saying to excuse myself for being late, and signed them. :tongue:

[moJo]

never have, and i don't know if we ever have a detention policy in any of my schools. or maybe my friends and i was jsut so squeaky clean that we didnt know it existed. i just remember i used to get warnings and citations on my report cards in elementary school for talking too much in class, but it didn't result in any kind of real punishment.

[lethal]

I was put in in-school detention for getting into a fight back in middle school. Nothing since then though. Doesn't mean I don't fight. Just means I don't get caught or punished.

[A.R.A.M.]

I've never done detention, but I have done Saturday school. Wasn't so bad: the teacher who supervised rented a couple of movies for us to watch to pass the time.

[bluemonq]

i was supposed to report to detention a few times before, but i managed to talk my way out of them. heh.

[fossilfuel]

yeah, one time, for getting in an argument at the drinking fountain. it was weird, i just sat around and had nothing to do. I could even nap. is that supposed to be punishment? i was expecting bart simpson style punishment, or cleaning erasers at least.

[nonamerasian]

Yeah. Most punishments in high school weren't that bad.

Morning I.S. was actually fun for me.

You can get all your homework done during detention and the teacher does the notes for you in a couple of the classes.

Middle school and under was more Bart Simpson-like or worse from my experience.

Wow. I didn't know you could do that.

[nola]

aw, jo, so sqeaky clean!

in first grade the whole row at lunch went to the wall beause our bench fell. in 7th grade for throwing a ball of paper from the second row into the trash. that teacher was weird huh?

[SunWuKong]

Wow. I didn't know you could do that.

probably not the same in every school. and my school was technically a private school - but it has an agreement with the government, it receives funding from the government in return for accepting any student who wants to get in. so it's sort of like a public school that makes its own internal rules.
