Weekend detention is a bunch of crap in my book.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This sounds a lot like “house arrest”.

Have you noticed how much school lingo resembles prison language:

Lock down.
Metal detectors
Zero tolerance
drug free zones
in-school detention
after school detention
dentention center
anti-bullying policies
gun-free zones
expulsion procedures

And,,,now,,,this is a new one: Weekend detention

This isn’t new in our district. It’s been around for a few years.

I’d be a cold day you know where before I’d co-operate with that; and yet, parents do. The kids show up.

I bet the system is an off-shoot of a system to inform residents in towns nearby a prison that some dangerous convicts just escaped, and it might be a good idea to secure the domicile, and not open the door to any strangers...
