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 ?

Look at this way. Those on detention were detained until the agreed time of 5pm. Those that weren't on detention received a reward of an early finish for their acceptable/good behaviour

Apart from whinging what are you goung to do about it?

Im sorry but you deserved to be punished and so you didnt get to go bowling. You will soon learn that life isnt all candies and puppies.. You will have to face up to the realities sometime. When you are out in the workplace, if you have to stay late and that ruins your evening plans.. its tough luck.
So you had to stay an extra hour in detention.. my heart bleeds for you. Next time.... dont get a detention and you will be allowed to finish early with your friends.
