My school started a similar practice

Submitted by Michelle D. (not verified) on January 29, 2008 - 14:36.

I teach at the secondary level and my school has two hour detentions after school, one hour in the am, and just began a four hour detention on Saturdays. The teachers voiced their opinions that most of the students serving detention are "at-risk" students and are also in danger of failing. So weekly an email is sent out with students scheduled for detention so that the staff can provide the students and detention proctors with missign assignments. I am not sure with a school of its size we would be able to institute the mandatory study session.
