Mostly for tardiness
Serve it with 30 minutes
It's humiliating
Mostly same group of people repeating
Not all schools have it
Run by Simril
Sum administers it, more strict than similar
If you don't serve you get a two hour
Sometimes you can work it off with a teacher
It's used as a deterrent
It's also punitive, setting boundaries
You get two detentions for being late back from lunch or 2 period if you're a senior
Can work it off with chairs at liturgy
Happens during A-block
Detention doesn't exist in my kids elementary and junior high, and it doesn't exist in college
For the most part it seems not to change behavior
Punishment is not a main factor/motivator in decision making
