Is After School Detention Effective?


It is true that after school detention is an effective way in dealing with classroom misbehavior.  However, it should not be given to a student with three tardies, because there are many students who are well behaved, but are occasionally late.  They do not wish to be late, but it happens to even the smartest of people.  If detention is received for tardies, it will hamper the student’s ability to complete all homework given, especially a student in the GT program.  In order to make up for the lost time in detention, the student would stay up late, lose sleep, and not do as well in school the next day.
