Should We Have Been Let Out Of Detention Early Because Of A Staff Meeting ? Or Did We Get What We Deserved ?

[bigbecky]

hi big becky is back, I have kept out of trouble except for a school detention last night, my complaint.
last night I had a detention it last for 1 and a half hours ( TOO LONG ) we had to sit at our desks in TOTAL silence and write an essay on why were being punished we have to get our parents to sign the detention slip, it says no student will be freed before 5 pm.
yesterday morning the headmaster said there was going to be a staff meeting and school would finish an hour early ( WE ALL CHEERED ) all those in detention must go to the detention room at 2 20pm to serve our punishment, to our horror the teacher taking detention said we could not leave before 5pm, she said we should NOT benefit from school finishing early as we were being punished for poor behaviour and rule breaking, NK THIS IS SO UNFAIR DONT YOU ?

Isn't it time you grew up and learnt how to behave instead of bombarding this site with your complaints re your detentions.

[kvalidir]

Oh my heart is actually bleeding, you seriously make me almost suicidal with your incessant self pity. Wait til you grow up and actually have some problems. Actually I hope you don't have any problems but that is the last fraying string of me still managing to be a decent human being and not telling you what I actually think.

The school kept its word- you were in school until 5pm as agreed. If they'd sent you home early i think the parents would have had grounds to complain- for example they might have arranged to work later and pick students up at 5pm

[scorpiojo]

Whose fault was it that you had detention? Again?

[Barmaid]

Yep. Unfair. Indeed terrible. A dreadful ordeal. And now what?

[Mamyalynne]

No.

Oh god!!!!!

[andy-hughes]

bigbecky - It must surely have dawned on you by now that if you want sympathy and agreement, you are on the wrong site.

This site is almost entirely used by adults, most of which have children, and they are never going to indulge your endless self-pitying need for agreement and approval.

You have two choices - post here and get told to be your age and take responsibility for your life, or find a site that is used by teenagers, and you can all tell each other how awful the world is until you get tired of each other, or grow up, whichever comes first.

Do those involved with you get extra money for having to listen to your immature whining ? No? They should be...even your parents......

//// last night I had a detention it last for 1 and a half hours ( TOO LONG ) ////

.... it's called punishment for a reason.
If it was considerable shorter and easy to do; do you think it would act as a reasonable deterrent??

If you can't do the time; don't do the crime :)

[marval]

Is it unfair? No of course not, why not just do then detention. Then decide to behave from now on.

Who will rid us of this silly little girl?

Yawn !!!!

[cashier]

If you went to the detention room at 2.20pm and served one and a half hours of detention, you must have been out by 3.50p.m. so what are you moaning about? Surely your parents had to sign the slip before the detention, not after.

[Baldric]

Another one?

Still not learned to write structured sentences have you?

[Canary42]

You are learning a valuable lesson - Life is inherently UNFAIR.

For example, are you aware that while you were in detention, hundreds of children elsewhere in the world died because they had not enough food to eat. And they were innocent of any misdemeanour, unlike you.

So instead of moaning all the time, count your blessings.

[Jackdaw33]

Your written English is appalling. You need more detentions, not fewer.

[anneasquith]

go get a job, stop moaning .
