Teachers were allowed to hit students to discipline them back then. They can't do that now, and I wouldn't want teachers trying to discipline with force.
BUT, today a teacher CAN hit a student if that student is endangering the safety and well being of the other students.
As for detention, mine were an hour long. I got them almost every day for being late to school. Obviously I learned nothing. Glad my senior year teacher let us sneak in... I did get a chance to do my homework during detention... so I had more time to sleep at home.
