What is Detention?
1.
A stupid way teachers try to teach you a lesson...by the way, it doesn't work!
Teacher: Hey you just got yourself a detention.
Student: Another one.
Teacher:Yeah.
Student:O well, it's just a detention.
2.
A place where you get sent when a teacher notices something bad or inappropriated. The best way to get one is to chew gum.
Kyle: Yo David. I just got a detention from Miss Hoffman for chewing gum. So I gave her the finger and got another one.
David: For real? I just chewed 36 pieces of gum in history class and didn't get a detention. I kickass.
Miss Hoffman: Who just said kickass?
David: I did.
Miss Hoffman: That's a detention.
Kyle: Haha. Sucks for you.

A special room in high school, where you go if you do something very severe,
1. Insubordination
2. Get caught cheating
3. Bad-mouthing a teacher
4. Get caught leaving the school grounds before school is over
5. Fighting with a fellow student or faculty.
The student who was in violation has to collect all their assignments from their assigned teachers, and they are not allowed to go to the cafeteria for their lunch break, lunch is to be eaten in the detention room.
I was put in detention for giving my study hall teacher the one finger-salute for being a smart-ass. That was the only time I was put in detention
