I remember those days! In some countries teachers are allowed to discipline their students in that way, it's not that un-common. Detention doesn't do CRAP for students, b/c they're STILL going to do the same thing they did before. I remember back in private school(in kindergarten & middle) the teacher had a ruler in her hand, & whenever a kid acted up in class you'd get hit on the hand with the ruler. And in middle the HM could give you the paddle if you were disrespectful (only with parental consent). I don't see 30 minutes of detention as punishment, that's just giving you 30 minutes of thumb twiddling~! I had an hour of detention & all i did was do my homework..
Edit:
And public school(for high school) was a waste too..I mean granted you got referrals & it depends on how many referrals you got was your punishment(in school suspension, suspension, expulsion). I think like 10 was your max till you were up for expulsion.. some crap like that..
