A pathetic way in principals thinking their punishing you, but really your just sitting at a desk for two hours reading, sleeping, going on the computer, or otherwise wasting part of your life while further putting off going back to your crappy home life, and that grounding you got for whatever reason your in friday detention in the first place. Oh boy, what a horrible thing.
Principal: I heard you cheated on a test.
Student: yupp.

Student: whatever.
student walks away

Dumpster Detention

Share definition
Dumpster Detention was invented by a group of crime fighting Australian pioneers from the Sutherland Shire, who believed that any form of crime/misbehaviour/offensiveness should be punishable.

Dumpster Detention refers to the process of picking up an individual who has committed a minor crime/offense and placing them into a bin/dumpster. The individual is kept in said bin/dumpster for an amount of time appropriate to their crime/offence.
Guy 1: I disagree with your opinion. I believe that Edward from Twilight COULD kick Batman's backside.

Guy 2: That statement is offensive to myself, Batman and every being on this planet. I, therefore, decree that you shall be placed into Dumpster Detention till you see the error of your ways.

Guy 1: What is Dumps...Ack!

Guy 2: *picks up the offensive person and places them in the nearest trash receptacle*

Saturday Detention

Share definition
A so-called extra measure of punishment flaunted by commonly blinded insensitive burnt-out figures held in educative authority. This punishment requires the offending student to go out of their way in the free time they have at the start of their weekend and spend two or so hours at their school doing what the attending teacher requires them to do.

From my school, this is the result of getting two detentions in a week or getting a very low negative behaviour point score by the end of the school week.

It is a wide-held belief that detention is to make the student reflect on their bad behaviour and hopefully have them avoid this punishment in the future. From what I've seen, this kind of detention not only deviates from that desired effect but also worsens the effect that teachers wanted to avoid in the first place.

I've seen some of my friends and many classmates getting this type of detention and it didn't help with their behaviour in the slightest - it only made them get even more detentions, resulting in them returning to even more Saturday detentions.

If a student has done so bad to constantly be given Saturday detentions, chances are there is an underlying issue with said student that needs to be addressed, worked, and resolved, as opposed to just doling out detentions like government cheese.
Teacher: Jimmy, that's two lates in a week. You have a Saturday detention starting at 11 am.
Jimmy: Whatever.
Teacher: And another one now for the following weekend.
