In our district you can get either office attention or teacher detention. teacher detention is basically set by something a child did in that teachers room so the teacher will often require them to work on specific work. If it is office detention if it is based on say they wrote on the wall, they may be required to spend their detention cleaning it off. If they had a food fight they may be required to help the custodians clean the lunchroom. You need to be a little more specfic on what work they are requiring to be done??
all school policies are outlined in the school board policy book, available upon request from your district.
detention policies should be listed there as well.
these policies are public records, you have the right to review them and make copies if you choose.
some schools have all these policies on their website, other schools you have to ask the principal to see them, other schools you have to ask the superintendent office to see them. but see them, you may, if you are at a publc school.
Same as CC our school requires them to work on homework or read. I know some of the teachers have the students do some chores in the classroom sometimes. As for anything more detailed, I don't know. Can you ask your school district administration for the formal policy?
At my son's last school, students were required to bring homework or a book to read. Failure to do so would result in a 2nd detention.
For in-school suspension the students could, if they were responisble enough, spend the time cleaning scuff marks off the tile floor, cleaning garbage up outside or raking the tire chips on the playground back into place.
Am looking for any policies on after school detention, specifically limits on what staff can/cannot demand students to do. Do your staff have free run on what they can demand/assign? Or are policies in place as to what they can/can't do? Does detention at your school mean sitting quietly? Doing book work assigned by the offended staff member? Cleaning? etc. Does it depend on the reason they got detention in first place? Thanks.
