Does school detention do any good in school?
Detention is a consequence that schools may use to address inappropriate student behaviour. Detentions can be applied during school hours or out-of-school hours. Principals make a decision about what happens in their school in consultation with their school community. Detention is a disciplinary consequence that principals and teachers may use as an alternative to suspension or exclusion. Principals have the flexibility and autonomy to apply detention as a meaningful consequence for inappropriate student behaviour.
