I had a detention twice, and in my school that made me a very bad person.  Detentions were read out at assembly on Friday morning, the detention was after school on Monday.  Mine were both for the same thing, failing to hand in maths homework, and both by the same teacher.  Miss McCarron, if you are reading this, I don't bear a grudge, much! 

I can't remember what we had to do for them, writing something.

I went to a convent grammar school and when we were 'bad' we were given an order mark, if you got three of them in a week that gave you a detention and that was the most common type of detention, to be given an outright detention was so bad.  In a school of almost 600 girls there would be under ten detentions each week - which goes to show how bad I was.  smiley: roll
