(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Like the title says. Its my first one. Here's the kicker, I didn't do anything. (Yea most of you are thinking okay he thinks he didn't but he did) Let me explain. (BTW I'm a sophomore in HS) Last class of the day. Chemistry I. The teacher is in her late 40s or early 50s. She doesn't really have any tolerance for goofing off in class, but if you stay on her good side, she is nice. So today some kids were making a sound at the beginning of class. Kinda like a "whoooooop" sound. She asked them to stop. They didn't. She kept telling them to stop, they still didn't. (She hasn't been looking this whole time so she doesn't know exactly which student is making the noise, and neither do i) Finally she told us "If I hear that sound one more time, I'm writing the whole class detentions." And as soon as she turned her back, "whooooop!". So she whipped out her detention pad and gave a detention to every student in the class, including me. The only mark on it other than my name is the "disrespect" reason for detention. I'm pissed. I went to the principal after school to ask him if she can do that. He told me we could talk tomorrow during my lunch hour.

My question out of all of this is, do you think she has the right to do that? Obviously she is the teacher and is empowered to write detentions, but to punish a whole class for one or two students' ignorance and blatant disrespect. Personally its a good threat to use against students, but I've never seen a teacher carry it out. Nor do I think it should be done. I fully believe it is wrong to punish the innocent. Worst of all, It is a catholic school. We are taught to protect the innocent, not persecute them. She is a catholic teacher as well, which just further backs my point. So, your thoughts?

God damn I thought detentions were a middle school thing. We get suspensions, in school and out school. But on some real shit, she can't do that. That's like putting your whole family in jail just because none of the police knows which one of your family did the crime. This is when being black comes in handy. My mom would come up to that school and cuss out the teacher and principle/dean/whatever. Then they wouldn't even dare do that again Happened a couple times in middle school haha.

Lmao, don't worry man, it could be a lot worse, you could get dropped and have to go to an alternative high school like me :p

The only reason detentions are given out at my school is so people don't bother to turn up :lol:
