Did you ever have a detention at school..

[Ammi]

..and why..?...

[mizzy25]

I dont think so, I did however get stopped from getting the bus with 2 girls, they were bullies but I got dragged into it and we all had to get separate buses.

[Kate!]

Yes, twice that I recall, for minor stuff like not doing homework

[LemonJam]

always, for not doing homework, performing poorly in tests, being disruptive, for refusing to go to another detention.

look at me now :dazzler:

[Verbal]

Don't think I ever had a detention, if I wanted to cause trouble I would just plant the idea into other peoples heads and get them to do it for me. #Kingpin.

[Jessica.]

I was constantly in detention throughout all of secondary school, I just didn't get on well with the teachers or other students. Had no respect for authority, didn't ever do my homework or participate in PE.

[Marc]

Yeah I called my form tutor a wanker under my breath and somebody dobbed on me!!! :o

And apparently I punched my friend (girl) and was sent out of the room. But I didn't and the teacher soon after had a mental breakdown and left. I was the true victim of her mental breakdown :notimpressed:

[Jordan.]

All the time in my first few years. By the time I started my GCSE's I'd grown up so didn't mess about as much.

[T*]

Nope! :touchwood:

[AnnieK]

They didn't really give detentions at my school. I was isolated once for 3 days, which was like suspension but I had to go in and sit on a room with a teacher all day and do my work on my own. I even had to eat lunch and be escorted to the toilets. That was a lot of fun :inamood:

What did you do!? :joker:

[Kazanne]

Yes a few times for distracting the class and opening the emergency door on a school bus.

[AnnieK]

What did you do!? :joker:

I set the fire alarm off and as it wasn't a planned drill the fire brigade came and the school was evacuated. I also had to go tothe fire station and get a serious telling off from the fire chief.

[Black Dagger]

Never :amazed:

I've been told to leave the class-room a few times, because I was being a drama-queen and loved getting into arguments :dazzler:

[MTVN]

Used to get them quite a lot around year 10/11, was never anything that serious though more just mischief really

[Samm]

mostly for not doing Homework

I did accidentally pour acid on the table in science that's what my teacher said :rolleyes: it was this boy who I had to sit next too can't remember his name tbh but it was him not me, but he had behavior problems but the acid wasn't the reason I had a detention it was because we had a argument and then I burnt a part of his book with a Bunsen burner then I got a detention but that was in like year 9.

[Jack.]

Once for forgeting my PE kit.

[Livia]

No... I was very quiet and studious.

[Shaun]

Quite a lot. We had saturday morning (3 hour) detentions and you'd get them for getting 3 homework 'defaults'... which was nice... so yeah I probably had about 8-10 over the years.

Only behavorial one was when I and my group of friends were caught bunking off lessons and drinking vodka in a wooded area at the back of the school... we spent that Saturday morning stealing drinks from the cafeteria and dicking around because the teacher in charge didn't really care what we did :laugh:

[smudgie]

I was expelled :blush2:

[smeagol]

moi detention lol only remember a few i didn't usually go if i did the teachers would never turn up so it became pointless.
i'd always get expelled though. normally for things other people did while i was at home lol

[Natalie.]

Nope lol just class detentions but I didn't do anything wrong

[Ammi]

..that sounds a bit like The Breakfast Club..:love:...

[Kazanne]

:shocked::shocked:SMUDGIE,what did you do?

[Ammi]

..oh, I missed that Smudgie...what, what..?....

[smudgie]

:shocked::shocked:SMUDGIE,what did you do?

Well, I went to private schools abroad, came back here, went to a normal school, found it somewhat lacking.
Hated the maths teacher as much as he hated me..he called me by my surname so I thought it only right he was given the same respect..he banned me from his classes.
I decided there was more to life than school.
Nicked off until the police escorted me around the schools until they found the one I was meant to be attending.
The headmistress, who I actually admired and respected had a talk with me and said " you won't be coming back next year will you Susan" .
Suited me down to the ground, I managed to get a job in the summer holidays and that was that.

[Drew.]

We had these homework diaries where we'd put all our homework down for each day and 4 out of the 5 days a week had red pen in from a teacher for a detention. I definitely reached triple figures.

[MeMyselfAndI]

A few times.
I got into really bad trouble in year 9 when my RE teacher left the room for 5 minutes, and so me & some friends left the classroom & went down to the second floor saw our RE teacher (we were a floor above, he couldn't see us) and threw paper at him & sprinted back up the stairs too our classroom, but we went too open the door as our RE teacher was chasing us & 2 of my other friends in the room were blocking the door as a joke so we couldn't get in. We were banging & slamming the door to open it, just got in but the RE teacher saw the back of our heads & red carded us.

Red Card means you have a after school detention (1h30) a week for the rest of term, talk too the headteacher & you're isolated from your lessons for a day with your head of house or other teacher & suspension if its really bad

You bloody rebel you and there was me thinking you were a good girl:hugesmile:

[King Gizzard]

Don't think I did, always felt sorry for teachers just trying to do their job so knew when to behave etc etc without being a teachers pet

[Loukas]

Yeah all the time, i was never naughty or rude, just disruptive. I had a gob on me, i never shut up.

[Marc]

Oh I had that too. For a day

[Tom4784]

I only ever had one because I thought I lost my homework when it was just hiding in a fold at the corner of my bag, I handed it in at the end of the lesson and she still insisted on a detention. bitch. She fell down a mountain a year later though and couldn't teach for a year, I pretty much fell off my chair laughing when I found out.

Other than that I never had detention, I was good at covering my tracks.

[Josy]

We never had detentions and I was mostly always truanting through high school anyway but when I was there I had a behaviour card that had to be signed by every teacher :bored: I ended up expelled and went to a new school then I got expelled from there and went back to my old school.

It was never even anything that bad we used to get up to we were just always messing around and having a laugh, we put washing up liquid in the teachers cake mix once in home economics and got sent home for that.

You were lucky, I'd have sent you straight to hell for ruining a perfectly good cake :hmph:

[Glenn.]

I was never out of detention or isolation. Whenever I told a teacher to **** off, which was a lot, they threw me in a room all day. What they meant by it, I don't know. It didn't really do much good.

Now I don't want you to think I was an arsehole student, because I wasn't. The teachers at my school were evil, self centered morons who had superiority complexes. School was awful.

Yeah our teachers weren't the nicest either tbh.

I had one English teacher a really old woman she must have been due to retire, anyway she used to argue with me about my name? and I actually got sent out of class a few times for getting pissed off at her because she would say to me 'do you think I'm stupid I know your pretending to be someone else' and I used to take my school jotters out with my name and that on it but nope there was actually no way of getting her to believe I was actually me.

My mum actually ended up phoning the head of our house about that.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Yeah but the after school ones were always fun
HATED going to IEC though (internal exclusion center) you'd have to play jenga with the teachers at lunch time :umm2:

[Z]

Nope, never. I did get a punishment exercise one time from an absolute dragon of a teacher because I'd written down that an essay was due for the following week, must have accidentally turned the page one week too far because I was always on time with homework, I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying all lesson :joker: I think I was 14 at the time. She shouted at me for a good 5 minutes in front of the class but she seemed to realise I wasn't a trouble maker, she wasn't horrible to me again after that. She even gave me an A for my talk about my phobia of public speaking :joker:

[Apple202]

I've had like two lunch times which last about 5 mins and one after schoolie for a homework that i did do just couldn't print off with a strict teacher

sounds hilarious...

[Apple202]

i can't at some of you in here, clearly had no respect for people whose whole job is to help you :umm2:

She was the devil, I can only assume that Karma manifested in human form and booted her off the mountain.

[RichardG]

I've never had one :amazed:

In fact I've only been shouted at four times and each one was for things that I didn't do. The most random one was in year 9 in music when I was doing my work in my book and out of nowhere the teacher shouted at me 'for playing on the keyboard' :conf: I was looking at him really confused because I hadn't touched the keyboard all lesson and he told me to 'stop looking so innocent' :laugh: crazy man

[Z]

It's always sad when you hear about teachers passing away... so far two teachers that I liked at school have died relatively young (one was in his 60s but did lots of hill walking, he had cancer; the other was in her 40s and died of cancer too... awful :(...)

[Sophiee]

quite a lot for not doing homework and talking in class, stuff like that.
we used to always mess around in science and once I glued my friend's chair so she got stuck to it and the teacher found out and I think he was more upset about his chair than my friend's trousers.

[Redway]

One of the things I could've easily gotten top marks in if it was an exam. Mostly for minor things (not doing homework, persistently late, etc). Serious things like fighting meant suspension/isolation/whatever.

...hawww, you're doing ok now though, Redway ..:laugh:...

[zakman440]

I only get them for no homework, being late or forgetting PE kit (the latter happens on a weekly basis).

[Benjamin]

Yep, several. Smoking, jacking off lesson, making my French teacher cry.

[Marc]

Ngl thought you said something else there.

[Headie]

Yeah our teachers weren't the nicest either tbh.

My mum actually ended up phoning the head of our house about that.

My English teacher was great. She would always talk to me about Big Brother before she started the lesson and even gave me a higher grade than I deserved solely for doing my speaking & listening presentation about Big Brother! :D

[Adamw92]

Once or twice from what I can remember.
I do remember getting one for not bringing in my P.E. kit and we were doing our practice SATs and the teacher stormed in right at the end to point out everyone who had to stay for detention. :p

[smudgie]

You bloody rebel you and there was me thinking you were a good girl:hugesmile:

Haha...I was never a good girl.:devil:
Never nasty though:hugesmile:

[Harry!]

No I was a good child. Although I was placed in one once because a student had been on my teachers computer and booked me in for one :(.

[T*]

jacking off lesson.

WHAT
D:

[Amy Jade]

Quite often

for chewing, not handing in homework and sometimes for getting too many reports in a day

[Jords]

Once for 'hitting' somebody with my hockey stick. I did not, I was holding it up and they turned around and 'hit' themselves the lying bastard :hmph:

I wasnt spose to go to detention though, had to go see the teacher but I was Year 7 and scared so I just went there instead LOL.

Then maybe two or three times for homework.

Edit: oh and 'class detentions'

[Apple202]

No I was a good child. Although I was placed in one once because a student had been on my teachers computer and booked me in for one :(.

:laugh2:

[Livia]

Can I ask... as most of these posts are from people who have had detention or other punishments and who seemed to generally dick around in school... Do any of you regret not taking school more seriously?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

yup thought I was badass. I thought the music teacher had a crush on me because my detention was in a small room and he leaned on the door looking my way throughout the detention

[Princess]

Just the one once because I kept forgetting to hand homework in on time.

[Vicky.]

Constantly though I rarely turned up for them, only if I literally got caught by the teachers sneaking out :laugh:

Got expelled once too (though how this is a punishment I will never know) but I feel it was wrong. I had paid for a school trip, but when the day came there were too may people to fit on the bus so they said some couldnt go. I refused to get off the bus until I got a refund. So they expelled me because THEY ****ed up with organising it :bored:

[Firewire]

no but i got suspended lmao

[smudgie]

Can I ask... as most of these posts are from people who have had detention or other punishments and who seemed to generally dick around in school... Do any of you regret not taking school more seriously?

Not really.
I took it very seriously before coming back to Britain.
Left at 15, tried a few different jobs.
Ended up in catering and was a manager for Tarmac by the time I was 19.

Then again, I did take our kid's education very seriously.
I suppose I was lucky there was so much work and so many choices at the time.

[Vicky.]

I dont think taking it more seriously would have affected my grades or anything at all. Despite being a twat at school, I still got Bs in everything.

The one thing I do regret though was not taking time to do my coursework. My grades were pretty much made up solely from exams as I couldnt be arsed with coursework. If I had done it properly, I probably would have got A/A* in everything. Not that it has mattered anyway really. Aslong as you have 5 A-Cs you are good to go.
