      Most of my detentions were after school ones, but I did several weekend detention and about a 30 Saturday detentions. The headmaster did not approve of suspension, especially for cutting lessons, because he saw it as an extra holiday. So instead of suspension, I was given weekend detention, which ran from 4pm on Friday (with people in ordinary Friday night detention) right through to Monday, where from 6am to 8am, I would enjoy a cold shower, collecting leaves, running round the school field and a final twelve cuts of the cane.

        One of my weekend detentions was for racial abuse towards another pupil something I still am very sorry for. The punishment was 2 hours to sit and think about my actions and there affect on the other pupil, then to write an apology then lines. I fully accepted and deserved the detention. This was as late as th 90s and I think was one of the few schools around to have such a harsh dtention policy. But it did work. My parents were not impressed and actually encouraged the school to put me in lengthy detentions. 1/2 hour detentions are just minimal and I think schools should be resourced to be able to impose these kinds of punishments. It means more than just caning as you reflect on what you've done. Caning is short sharp and all over in no time, this ultimatley achieves little. I do however believe detention should be a really unpleasant experience, as said it is the whole point of being punished. My behaviour was unacceptable and could have caused no end of problems for me had it not being dealt with properly at the time. I do want to say any form of racism is abhorent and I remain sorry for my behaviour at the time.

      my name is Aldar I am from Bulgaria, last weekend on Saturday I have been in trouble with my teacher I have to attend school for punishment from 9am to 7pm, in the morning my mom and father come to school with me, because teacher want to see them. Teacher say to my parents I have been naughty because I draw on graffiti on table and when i have after school detention on Friday from 5pm to 7pm I eat on detention. So the teacher on Saturday pull my ear, and make me stand against the wall. She say to my parents I be caned and whiped 50 times each and if ok for them to watch to make sure i be punished good.

      So teacher cane my hand 50 times on each hand, then i have to turn around and and lean over table, teacher cane my bottom 50 time then my thigh 50 time then he get belt and whip my bottom 50 time and whip my thigh 50 time, then he get whip and ask me to take my tshirt under my school shirt off and put my school shirt back on and he whip my back 50 time. He pull my ear again and ask to my parent if they think i deserve more and my parents say it is upto teacher. So the teacher say ok, now he is on punishment all day. He must clean all the tables, rooms, bathroom, in school and i will no go home until finish. So teacher say to my parents maybe i be punished till 10pm and every hour I get 50 hits like this morning, so the faster and good job i do i have more hits. My parents say ok, if it is what you want to do, Aldar has been naughty he must be punished how teacher want.

      So I did not finish my Saturday detention and had to go on Sunday for same punishment, Monday after school and Tuesday afterschool. Teacher have no merci because my back is very bad bruise and painful. My parents say I have to be punished. This is life in Bulgaria village.

        This seems very harsh indeed. I was reading something about the Eastern European Countries and former Soviet Countries being extremely strict. I believe in Georgia and Syria they have punishment cells for students in which they actually also lock you up in?

      Hi I got placed on a weekend detention today for this coming Saturday. Next week is the last week of school, however the teacher said it doesn't matter. I actually have been put on a detention which will make me go to school the week it finishes and also stay at school from 9am to 5pm. As apparently even though the school year has ended teachers are at school until the 18th of December. This is at a NSW school in Australia.

      So I have weekend detention this Saturday from 9am to 5pm, Afterschool detention tomorrow Thursday till 6pm, and on Friday till 6pm. Next week Tuesday, Thursday, Friday till 6pm and Next Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and then when everyone is on their school holidays I have to attend school for another 3 days, 9am to 5pm. It was because I jumped the school fence during lunch time, to go to the shops, and I got caught. I didnt know how I was going to tell my mum, but yeh, I had no choice to. I have to be in school uniform on Saturday as well, and punishment will include, picking up rubbish, cleaning the tables, toilets, writing lines, facing the wall.

          Hi, it's Jess again. It was the worst ever. I've had afterschool detentions many times, and could tell my parents, but facing my parents and telling them I was on a weekend detention was the worst part of the punishment. However they where saying that if ive been naughty i deserve it. What i did was got 3 afterschool detentions by the same teacher in a term, and then I used the F word when she said my next detention I get with her will be a weekend detention. So she gave it to me for using the F word. I had to wear my school uniform, and there where 2 teachers present. One male head teacher and Miss Jones which is the teacher that gave me the weekend detention. I had to get the bus to school as usual, and was there early about 8.30am. As the next bus wouldve got me there late. And my punishment started by picking up the rubbish outside for about 2 hours till 11am. Then had to clean come inside and write lines, I had and hour and half to write 1000 and was told if I don't finish the lines ill be finishing them that evening after I do my other punishments. So 12.30pm I was told I can have a small break for 15 minutes. In which I went to the toilet and had a quick snack. 12.45pm to 3.30pm had to clean the desks and vacuum 4 rooms, I finished about 4pm. As from 3.30pm to 4.30pm I was supposed to face the wall. So I had to face the wall from 4pm to 5pm, then had had half an hour to clean the staff toilet, in which i finished at 5.30pm. Then was told that I had to finish the lines, I had about 400 lines left to write. In which I was going to take another hour and a half to finish. So I was given the option of attending another Saturday detention next Saturday for 4 hours and just write lines plus 1000 more or the teacher calls my parents and tells them my detention will have to be extended for another hour and half and I have to do 500 lines as well at home and get it signed by both my parents and bring it in on Monday. Either way if I decided to go on a detention next Saturday, I still wouldve had to finish writing the lines by Monday and do 500 more. So I decided to stay and finish the lines. So the teacher called my parents and explained. But after all that, and finishing my detention at 7pm. The male head teacher decided to give me a detention for the following Saturday anyway as I had ruined his plans for Saturday night. So I have another weekend detention next Saturday again from 9am to 5pm. I got home, my parents where like, so did you end up finishing your punishments, and i was like yes, but the head teacher decided to give me the weekend detention for next week after all. And I had to finish the lines this evening. I still have to do 500 more and you both have to sign it.
          And also have to sign the form for next Saturdays weekend detention. But I do feel much more comfortable, and relaxed about it. As it doesn't really bother me with the detentions and the punishments I get, the scariest was telling my folks.

            hi jess,
            i think that it harsh to give you another detention next week as you have done more than i would have done.i would have said to the male teacher that if you give me a detention next week then this will mess your plans up for then as well.i would say to him at sckool that if you had not made me clean the toilets or face the wall i would have finished the lines.
            what did you have to write for your lines?
            by doing this form of detention will it make you think next time about using the 'f' word as you are not gordon ramsy (if you don't know who he is googel him)
            think of your next sat detention as punishment for your teacher and not you as he has to give up his saturday to baby sit you.
            have your mum and dad grounded you also?or do they think you have been punished enough.
            would you of prefered this sort of punishment or the old fashion cain across the hand?
            as i said before they cannot force you to face a wall as this is classed as toucher and against you rights.
            get the teacher to prove to you how you and you alone reuined his dat night as he agreed to cover this detention and you did not make him stay there it was the other way round.
            why did you have a quick snack in the toilet there must of been a better place.

              It's Jess again. The male head teacher was in his office most the time. It is because he had to lock up. But I think both teachers get paid for their time there. So Im assuming they put me on detention again to get paid. Someone told me this at school, as their dad is an accountant. I hope I don't get a Saturday detention again, however I have already had 2 afterschool detentions with another teacher, so if I get one more it will be the third one, and the one after that will be another Saturday detention. This Saturday there are about 5 students on a Saturday detention, as far as I know 2 got Saturday detention due to they got caught smoking, and the other 3 similar to why I got my Saturday detention as they had been on 3 detentions with the same teacher.

              Not to sure, if I would rather the cane, my dad used to get it a fair bit. I would probably like to get it, just to see how it feels. My dad actuallly said, that when he used to get detentions he would mostly also get the cane, on his palms, and sometimes bottom. Sometimes he would also get a strap. So Im assuming I would still be on detention and get caned. However If I had a choice between Saturday detention and a couple of strikes of cane, I think the cane would hurt for a while, but at least I wont have to suffer all day.
              I wouldnt mind trying to get caned. Where are you located Paul? Perhaps you could try it on me, and I can see if I like it or not.

                hi jess how did you detention go this week end was it as bad as the previous one or a bit easier.did you manage all your lines this time.
                are still thinking off the cane and do you think it would be better than wasting the teachers time at the weekend.
                just remember that while they are punishing you are doing the same to them by being there at the weekend.have you got an email i can contact you on.are all your friend bad or is it just you?.

                  h jess. was just reading your comment. i remember once i got detenchen because i got set up for something i didnt even do. my opions were limited as the teacher who gave me detenchen hated me as well. it happens alot here in ireland exept we dont have the saturday detenchen. i remember i told my year head what happend which lucky for me she had a tendancy to listen to both sides of the story. i was accused of spilling washing up liquid in class to which the whole class backed me up but the teacher still wouldnt listen. me and my year head went into his office and argued with him for over 1 hour. at one stage he said that i shouldnt have spoken to him in the way that i did and iasked him how did he expect me to react and he went silent and tried to change the subject. before i got my year head involved i told him i was innocent and he told me to go to the principal but i knew dam well it was a trap because the principal would have just backed him up. when i went into his office with my year head he asked me why didnt i go to the principal and i told him that there was no point because he would just back you up sir. so during the course of the meeting we argued the points of each others side of the story and got pretty heated. he was saying that i had spilled washing up liquid on the floor and i got him to admit he didnt even see what exactly happend. at one stage he told me to do the detenchen out of respect for the school and i asked him how long and he said 30 minutes and i responded no way thats half the lunch break ill do 10 minutes out of respect but not half an hour. the bell rang for the end of school and he said we will continue this debate tomorrow and as i walked out of the room my year head approached me and asked me if i was ok because i did look very angry and tence. i told her i was ok and went home. the next morning he called me into his office and told me that i was still on detenchen but the time was reduced to 15 minutes. my advise is teachers are beatable at arguments. you just have to be very good at backing yourself up

              Hi, it was pretty much the same, but I got used to it. Again it was till 7pm. And yes I had to face the wall again, and write lines again. I also had to clean the staff toilets. I actually got Saturday and Sunday detention last weekend and I have it till the end of the term which is about 3 weeks away. As I got another afterschool detention with the teacher I had 2 detentions with. So I'm literally on afterschool detentions 2 days a week on Thursdays im on detention for 3 hours, and on Tuesdays for 2 hours Saturdays on detention from 9am to 7pm, and on Sunday 9am to 5pm. But I got sick last Sunday as I had to pick up the rubbish from outside, and it was raining and I got soaking wet. Then I had to come inside the class and face the wall until I was dry which was about 2 and half hours. But I feel it was easy telling my parents the detentions I got. As I was really worried the first time. I even told them the punishments given to me. And they too said it is easy, as if it was in their time they wouldve also got the cane.

              Funny thing is, Im actually starting to like the head teacher. Which is weird, as in I find him attractive. I want to make a move on him, but Im scared too.

      Hi Jess, I feel with you and it must be the worst thing immaginable to serve 23 hours of horrible detentions in one single week. All your free time wasted for punishment.

      Your legs must have hurt like hell standing for 2 and a half hours without moving facing the wall. Or are you allowed to stand on one leg and shift your weight from time to time?

      And your hands should be extremly sore from writing so many lines. You are really a poor girl.

      Are your after school detentions different? What are you doing in there?

      If you had to make a ranking of all your detention tasks, what would you dislike most and what would be not so bad at all?

      If you like you can report about all your detentions in the next 3 weeks and I will be listening.

      Don't give up.

      Far out, school just restarted and I got an on the spot afterschool detention today, and school's only been going till last Thursday, the on the spot was for an hour. As I didn't have the proper school books needed and had last weekend to get them.

      So when I was on detention the teacher asked why I didnt get them last weekend, and I told the teacher I didn't get a chance, and she goes well you won't get a chance this weekend, as Im putting you on all day Saturday and all day Sunday detention 9am to 5pm both days, and tomorrow you will be on detention with me again till 9pm and we will go shopping for the book once we leave the school premises at about 7pm. There is late night shopping, and she said she will take me home and have a chat to my parents about why I dont have the books I need, and how I will be punished on the weekend, as the school library is open, most days and looks like Ill be in class with or without the teacher as most times. I think she will get overtime as well.

      I got an afterschool detention yesterday on the same day, the teacher called my mum and told her I had to stay after school. I was kept afterschool and had to clean desks of 3 classrooms.

      2 hours had gone past and I had only done one class room, so I was told to continue.

      I got half way through the second class room the teacher came in and said that I hadnt done a good job of the first class room, and that I she will call my mum and tell her ill be there a while longer, so I was on detention till about 11pm, and the teacher drove me home. Spoke to my mum and told her I hadnt done my punishment properly and that I would have to do the detention again today. It's lunch time now, and this morning the teacher told me ill be on detention till 11pm today and then she also said that she spoke to my mum and they agreed to give me a weekend detention this coming weekend, from 9am to 9pm both Saturday and Sunday.
      The reason why I got the detention was I was drawing on the desk.

      Excellent posts guys this site is interesting! I went to a private school where not many people realise retained corporal punishment till the late 90s. Only the headmaster could cane you and this got administered during your detention. This 2 tier law kinda sucked as you knew when you got notice of your caning, most other places it's illegal but your gonna get caned anyway!? So I'm sat outside the heads office after school who keeps me waiting eternity before being called in. You got instructed on holding left then right hand out and got your caning. 2 stikes on each palm. I then had the detention in the office doing lines or copying from text books until about 9pm and then rest of week including saturday evenings. That's a package punishment! And only the boys got caned and only those in certain private schools. I must be one of the youngest men around to have got a school caning! Thought the detention was fair enough even that long. What did I do??, graffeti!

      Once in a while you could have school detention which is ok and probably talking about it makes you feel a little better. Boarding schools are much stricter and probably you would want to read boarding school review before joining one.
