Shahad: Detention has the potential to be an extremely effective form of punishment. It has the potential to deter pupils from misbehaving and encourage them to reflect on their behavior. There's also the issue of time. The ability to organize your time is extremely crucial in secondary school. As a result, when time is taken away from them, kids will understand the importance of following teachers' directions and giving it their all in the classroom.
Students who are frequently late for class, for example, should be required to stay at school after classes have ended. When dealing with kids who are impolite and disrespectful, skip class, or cheat on their assignments, detention might be beneficial.
