GEN: Detention rooms

[Medway High School <medway.hs@sympatico.ca>]

We are having a few problems with students in the hallways at our
school. Vandalism, litter, disrespect for authority has been a
consistent problem since the beginning of this school year. During a
recent staff meeting the idea of setting up a detention room might be a
deterent for some of our trouble makers.

Does anyone have any experience with detention rooms? Do they work and
if so what are some of the lessons you have learned with this form of
punishment. Please reply to this e-mail address.

TIA
