You were allowed to do your homework during dentention?! At least that's actually constructive. But it's pointless as a punishment, because it then means you don't have to do homework later. If you get what I mean.
Maybe they should just punish students who frequently disrupt the learning of other students or the whole class, rather than every other thing too. If a student is late, just let them away with it if they can come in quietly. When a teacher yells at a student at the time for being late (I've seen that quite a few times), it's causing more of a disruption than if the student had quietly sat down, isn't the fact that it is disruptive a person coming in late that is part the reason that it's not allowed? As for them missing some of class, whose fault is that? The student who was late!
