Detention

A special room in high school, where you go if you do something very severe,

1. Insubordination

2. Get caught cheating

3. Bad-mouthing a teacher

4. Get caught leaving the school grounds before school is over

5. Fighting with a fellow student or faculty.

The student who was in violation has to collect all their assignments from their assigned teachers, and they are not allowed to go to the cafeteria for their lunch break, lunch is to be eaten in the detention room.

I was put in detention for giving my study hall teacher the one finger-salute for being a smart-ass. That was the only time I was put in detention

detention

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.
