loopylulu Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Its an after school detention I think - its to start at the end of school. By day time do you mean during school hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Very little it seems. Ours had one for forgetting his PE kit and another for ME failing to sign that I had seen his homework. So really the school was punishing the wrong person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Jnr Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They seem very trivial to say the least . I thought the same but over the years i've come to accept their inept way of doing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accepted their methods why complain on the forum.It would be better to challenge the school rather than accept second best-most schools welcome a constructive exchange of views.Its how they improve.

It wasn't a complaint it was a statement of fact and served as an answer to what warrants detention these days as far as our kids school goes. I didn't complain to the school either as I had no reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby Stiles Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am not sure on what the policy is with this - I thought that if it was a 10 minute detention they didnt have to let parents know - but if it was longer than 10 minutes e.g. 30 minutes then they had to let parents know beforehand. Usually if it is more than 10 minutes after school the school will inform parents. This may simply be by a note given to the child to take home. Of course the note may not make it home to the parents. Also, reasons for detentions are not normally as trivial as they may seem. Forgetting PE kit probably means repeatedly forgetting PE kit; forgetting to bring a form signed by parents probably means not bringing it in despite numerous reminders. Sometimes it's the only way to get children to do important things that they are expected to do - even trivial sounding things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbelle Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was always informed when my lads had detention after school, by first class post! Must have cost the school a b****y fortune!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliekins62 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I only got detention a couple of times in senior school and my parents were never informed , this was back in the 70`s though when teachers did what they wanted without question. IMO the worst teachers in those days were the junior school teachers . They never informed my parents or any kids parents when they had taken out their frustrations on us by hittin us every day cos we didnt get our sums right ! Detention is nothing compared to these cruel specimens and i wish i could serve the same up to them now they are defenceless like we were them days !
