At the school where I teach, the after school detentions are 45 minutes long. And there are many different ways to earn a detention. Hope this helps. :)

I was only suspended once. For skipping a class, ONE TIME. I got 3 days out of school suspension which really doesn't make sense since I was just missing more of the class. It was French and I had a A in there. It seemed a bit harsh to me. I don't know if people do after school suspension anymore in high school atleast.... not at the school I went to.

Not long enough i say with the brats that are in this country today. oh and i for got to mention if the get detention, their parents should receive detention in jail also for the offenses of their children. parents need to be held accountable for the actions of their children. and the government and children services need to stop interfereing in the parenting of children nowadays. what is wrong with beating a childs ass for doing something wrong. they do the crime the deserve the punishment. spare the rod spoil the child remember this saying. more beatings would mean that this world wouldn't be in such a f***ed up state like it is in today. oh and i also beleive in capital punishment none of this life in prison crap. I don't want to pay to have someone sit on death row for 30 years just waiting to die. I say if you did it and you are found guilty you don't get a second chance to prove your innocence. just sit in the chair and let me flip the switch and watch you fry.

Most American teachers really suck at classroom management, so they get rid of the kids by sending them to the office; the office gets rid of them by sending them to detention. But, hey, school's all about teaching and secretarial positions. T'hell with the kids.
