    I doubt this happened because of busses that’d leave or parents wondering where the hell their kids are while they are waiting.

    I doubt a private school would put up with a consistent disruptive student or with a teacher losing control of a class so bad that they keep everyone behind while also having to deal with angry paying parents.

    It’s possible but I doubt it’d happen more than once with that teacher.

          In Germany it happens. But the teacher will get in trouble if smb. Snitches.

        Yeah good point. I’m definitely guilty of looking at it through an NA centric lens on my post. Thanks for the perspective.

        Often children from more rural areas take the bus there too. The parents would still be upset and I don’t even think normal detention is allowed at most schools (at least I don’t know of anyone who ended up there, just teachers scheduling extra lessons to make up for the lost time).

      Yeah, teachers just make them miss part of their breaks or whatever during school hours. My kids are about this age and come home occasionally with stories of some kid who wrecks things for everyone resulting in missing outside or other free time, or loss of whatever break from class work that may have been offered as a reward for conformity.

      They said they had to stay behind for 30 minutes, but they didn’t say what they stayed behind from. Lunch, maybe, or study hall? Recess, if they’re at a rare middle school that still offers it? Art? Seems like there’s a way it could work.

      But this is from Reddit… Surely they are posting the truth and not attempting to tell embellishing stories because their life is not interesting in the slightest right?
