It's not good at all. Some detentions can vary depending on what you did. For example if you told the principle to go to hell that is a full day. If you simply had your phone out in class then its a lunch detention. Full day detention are way worse. 2 restroom breaks, not allowed to go to the cafeteria to get your lunch ( the teachers get it for you) and your teachers send ALL the work you have to do down to detention in my school. Worst of all if you don't get it done, congraluations you just got 2 to 3 hours of homework. After school detentions are the worst. You are held in school after everyone has left. Ive only got lunch detentions. its where you get your lunch then go to detention.
To basically sum it all up if you want to be with your friends, go home, or not have a whole ton of homework dont get a detention.

The worst thing to come out of America's education system. A waste of a perfectly good hour where your basic rights to go places is taken away for an hour. Also prevents socializing if you live in Bronxville where almost every detention is at lunch
Garcia: Lindsay is such a stupid whore
Teacher:Don't say that! Go to Mr.name edited out to protect the man's privacy!

Mr.not saying his name you stalkers who want to email him:Alright, you have a lunch and after school detention
Garcia: Damn it

Forced entrapment in a social setting due to the friend with whom you intend to leave disappearing for over an hour with another friend to engage in unscrupulous and unsubtle sexual shenanigans.
My ride home went off to fool around with a friend when the evening was winding up, leaving me and the friends good enough to keep me company trapped in Sexual Detention!
