Detention Stories

The detention camp has been classified as a human rights violation due to the unjust and torturous treatment of inmates by the guards and employees during interrogation sessions. Methods that infringe basic human rights include force-feeding hunger strikes, sensory; sleep deprivation, sexual assault, and lack of privacy, torture, speech and waterboarding. Inmates were recognized as ‘enemy combatants’ with no particular evidence. Moreover they were left in small cells of wire mesh, which were no larger than a few square meters, and they did not have the freedom to practice their faith. Force-feeding inmates whilst on hunger strikes, again violated article 3 of the Geneva conventions, and has been recognized by the international committee of

Another benefit of meditation is that it can increase students’ discipline, which in turn, decreases the school’s total number of suspensions. Deborah Bloom from CNN reports that “Thompson says she’s had zero suspensions since the room’s creation. The year before that, there were four suspensions” (Bloom). This is an impressive drop in numbers, convincing many to believe that meditation has a rightful spot at school. Its positive thinking and deep breathing methods allow for students to assume better control over their tempers, and suppress any desire to act out of order. Additionally, Mandy Oaklander from TIME further supports this claim by saying, “Three years after a Transcendental Meditation program was implemented at a troubled middle school, suspension rates dropped from 28% to 4% and teacher turnover plummeted” (Oaklander). These numbers show that meditation is truly more impactful than detention, and should be implemented

Australia's juvenile detention system is breaking apart. It's time we started seeing our wayward youth as young people needing support and rehabilitation rather than merely callous criminals to be punitively punished, degraded and demeaned writes Anna Tran.

Within seconds I had a decision to make. My heart was pounding, my conscious started to kick in, should I act or should I blend in? Everyone was laughing, it just didn’t feel right. It was like any other day at Tippin Elementary School, roaming the halls I stopped by this boy named Tommy. From a glance, he seemed timid, shy, and a bit nerdy but he was the kindest person you’d ever meet. On the opposite side of hallway walked the jocks or so-called “cool kids.” No one dared to speak up against them, it was as they were wanting everyone to fear them. All of a sudden the toughest of the group slowly walked up to where we were sitting, opened up his water bottle, and poured it all over Tommy. He slurred racist and inappropriate comments, kids all around me began to burst out into laughter.

Hey guys it's Haley, and I finally found a chunk of time to write! I have decided to make a final part of "The High School Terrors", since I got into my top high school! So as for the 2016/2017 school year, I will be attending Ronald Reagan High School! Since two weeks have passed since I was accepted to Reagan, I already enrolled! It may seem like I'm going a little fast-paced, but I always had a feeling that Reagan was the perfect high school for me.. In fact, I know what goes on at Reagan (the program) and I know a lot of people who will also be attending Reagan! So this is going to be an interesting ride.. As for my other high schools, I was accepted into Rufus King and Hamilton, but I was wait-listed by Audubon; which isn't a big deal

Once upon a time, on a school day, Sarah was late to school. She wandered the halls trying to skip class until, the principal asked her “where do you belong”? Sarah answered saying “I was going to the bathroom!”, but the principal didn’t believe her. As he escorted her to class, she mentioned that the teacher let her go , but he continued to escort her. Sarah truthfully told the principal that she was late for class , but he didn’t believe her candor. The girl ran away from the principal and some way contrived to run and leave from campus.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes at his friend. If he didn't want to join in he didn't have to eventually he and Gemima if she wanted to still try the spell would had manged to get detention. Now they had to deal. With a grumpy William Wichita wasn't much of a difrence. His best friend always seem to be in a bad mood no matter what well maybe except after eating that was why he caught h after dinner and asked him to help get them into detention.

I got a detention for giving my friend a wet willy. The detention teacher made us pick up trash because it was nice out and I did not want to do that but she made us to do it. But she was nice to so will give my friend a wet willy ogling so I lander my lesson not to get I trouble anymore because it was

First, until now, government never provide careful and clear assessment for all counter terrorism efforts. For instance, regarding the detention policy, both for preventive and pre-trial detention, government also does not make any good evaluation over the efficacy of this policy.

I remember one day I went to school and skip class a whole week and the teachers started to notice I wasn’t in class but they saw me in the hall. So the teachers told the principle and I got suspended for three days. But what made it even worst was that I had just came back from a suspension. So I took the three days and went home but I didn’t tell my mama or my granddaddy because I knew

Burn upon burn on the hand, as the scarring reminded me of weeks prior. Macklemore was blaring as I put band-aids on; caffeine running through my veins not helping my anger-generated adrenaline. The severe swelling distressing me as I tried to tend them; the thick broad layer of green aloe vera was soothing, but not enough to make the irritation subside completely.

On a foggy Tuesday morning, I had just got up and realized that I had a morning detention that began at seven in the morning. Luckily, I ended up getting up a half hour early, but I took a lot of my time trying to get ready for my day. I usually drive my younger brother, Steven, to school but I assumed I was going to be late for detention so I did not bother waking him up and just ran straight to the door and got in my car. When I bang my commute it was difficult to see the road because of how foggy it was but I tried not to worry and just paid attention to getting in on time for detention. Knowing that I was about seven minutes away from school, I decided to speed through the windy roads I was driving on. This choice was definitely something I regret especially till this day.

Detentions aren't effective and here's the main reason why. School can be challenging providing difficulties for students who feel that they are under pressure or can't deal with all of the anger so they just act upon them without thinking. Detention doesn't do anything in terms of helping out a student and just lets them think about the outcome and how boring it really is to be in detention. Having negative thoughts like this can make you forget about your punishment in the first place and make you repeat the whole situation again without having someone like a counselor help you through it and make sure that you remain calm. This proves a better outcome and is a smarter choice overall. A meditation room can really help students who have been

According to the article “Instead of Detention, There Students Get Meditation” by Deborah Bloom, detentions are an ineffective method of correcting student behavior because the students naturally think erratically, with detentions as a waste of time and resources. Foremost, the students that regularly receive disciplinary attention are the ones “dealing with high-stress situations...their body’s alarm system is switched way one, so they may...not be able to sit calmly and pay attention” (Bloom 2). As a result, their rowdy behavior is not contained within the detention period outside of class, and become a habitual event over time. Therefore, the repeated detentions for a student leads to more consequences and suspensions, with the detentions

I’m sure we have always gotten detention at least once in our life. I’m also sure that we hated detention, at least I did. You see, detention ,might work for some, but to me detention is useless. Detention to me is just a nuisance you have to go through if you get in trouble. I personally would not be afraid to go to detention but I would surely hate to go to it, it’s torture. Basically what I am trying to get across is that detention does not work, it is just something insipid.
