At my school, there was a special "on-campus" detention room where kids were sent when they became a disruption to students in classrooms. If they missed enough classes this way, they failed. It became the child and their family's problem, not the teacher or school's, as it should be.

If you teach your kid some manners, they don't get sent to detention as often.

However that is too much work for a lot of "parents".

Our schoold has a similar program but it also includes being absent from school. Each student is required to spend a certain number of hours in the classroom. If a student does not have the required hours they have to attend Saturday school or after school detention to make up the hours in order to receive credit for the class.
