    I once was suspended from middle school for skipping school. Told the principal that it was funny the punishment for skipping school is that now I can’t go to school even if I wanted to.

    Found out a month later they created detention classes for people skipping school. Never told friends it was my fault just agreed with their complaints lol.

      I have never understood why this was the go to punishment for students that didn’t want to be at school.

      “Don’t want to be at school? Well then, fine! You’re not allowed at school. Ha, that sure showed that rambunctious rascal!”

      “Uhh…” plays Zelda or whatever

        Because now the parents have to provide proper care for the children. it’s a way to involve the parents.

        it fails if the parents are not involved in their kids lives or are just struggling to make ends meet as it is.

        It also removes disruptive kids from.the system. Which should allow the other kids to focus.
