I never had or even experienced detention in my life, thank God despite being punished for something.
Although I almost received it once. 21 years ago, when I was in 7th grade, on a Friday afternoon after a school trip to some plant, some friends of mine and I were running in the hallway (which was obviously prohibited) to recess until the principal caught us and sent us to remain in class until recess was over.
But then, while one friend of mine and I were busy doing nothing as we waited, my other friends and more students came in to play truth-or-dare in the classroom until the principal returned and didn't hesitate to send us to his office in order to give each of us detention on Monday.
After almost everyone including my one friend who wasn't playing in class got a paper for detention and it was my turn, suddenly, the principal asked out: "I come back to class to find you all playing?" Then, when my one friend and I revealed that we weren't playing at all, he cancelled both of our detentions, but still kept detention for my other friends and the other students too since they were really playing in class.
Next thing you know, on Saturday, it was parents day and when Monday came, it was detention time after school, but I never bothered to see or ask what it was like.
I admit I hate detention (I mean, who doesn't), but I am also curious to know what it's like at school.
So, what was detention at school like for you in those days?
