hi.... i had an after school detention last nite for 2 hours (3.30 til 5.30) for skipping class. The DT was in a classroom on the english floor and i had to write lines (which hurt my hand!) for the whole 2 hours! it was horrible i was the only person there in detention and i had to stay until 5.30!!!
I am in year 10 and go to school in england, my mum picked me up after the DT and she was not happy about me staying until 5.30...
do you think 2 hours after school wth writing lines is the correct punishment?

it's punishment enough to live in England.

Quite honestly, I think the whole point was to make it uncomfortable for you. Punishment isn't suppose to be fun. Since you skipped a whole day of school, I would say 2 hours of detention isn't such a big deal. Frankly, if I were your mum, I would have been angrier about the fact that you had skipped school. Perhaps next time you want to skip school, you will think about the consequences of doing so.

that is the correct punishment for skipping class. That was an easy one to do. I used to have saturday morning detention from 9 til 12. But the worst punishment I had was when I was caught smoking at 14. The school didn't shout or scream. They just made me stand out side the headmasters office every break and lunch time until one of my parents had called the school to say i had told them i had been caught smoking. I had the worst telling off of my life, I was grounded and my allowance was abolished. If i wanted money i had to go out and earn it.

That's pathetic. Lines is the most useless form of 'punishment'. The teacher should have had you doing something productive rather than sitting there doing that. If you'd been my pupil I'd have had you tidying up and cleaning the entire classroom! So count yourself lucky I don't teach at your school!
The important thing, however, is that you don't miss lessons - I hate to say it but it's for your own good! If you want to succeed in life you must work for it - school is just the first stage of learning to work hard - it doesn't get any easier, I'm afraid, so get used to it.

Thats not bad at all. If you skip class in the US you get worse. A whole day in detention. You shouldn't skip class.

thats way over doing it for something like that maybe if you skipped class for a couple of days. Maybe they should stay after school for two hours and write the whole time, then again they may like doing it=)

Skipping class here in America is considered a felony with jail time. So doin a little writing isnt a big thing. In Korea they chop your finger off.

How long was the class you skipped?
Will you think twice before skipping class again?
This is what they are trying to teach you in detention

Were you really alone or was there a teacher supervising the detention.
Do not cut classes , fail to do homework or anything else that will get you into trouble.

You broke the rules so you should be punished. You should be glad that they didn't suspend you- which they probably will do if you get caught doing it again. Get over it and stick by the rules.

It was the right punishment if you dont skip class again.
