Weekend detention is a bunch of crap in my book.

There’s no way the school should have that kind of control over a kid’s life. Once school is out, that’s the end of where they can tell my kid where he has to spend his time. Weekends are his, not the school’s.

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
