Detentions at college...

Capital 'W' for Winter.
Detention is just what you need.

What the fuck? Winter does not have a capital W! Back to school for you.

How can you get detention at collage? Isn't it just some kind of art made from cut up bits of the Grattan catalogue?

Errr, don't go? Kids are too fucking obedient these days

I stand corrected.
Think I was confusing seasons with days of the week or summat.
Kinda ironic that you put it at the beginning of a sentence and had to capitalise it.

like raaaainn

my two cents

You clearly go to a good school, with high standards, which probably costs a fucking fortune every term (I'm not judging, I went to the Royal Grammar School in Newcastle, wore suits and generally got detentions for being late as well).

The upside is that you will have teachers who will actually notice and make note of things like lateness, because they generally want their students to excel and go on to great things. Not many successful people turn up late.

Now, in your situation there was some unavoidable instance - getting a puncture - that compounded your situation - running late already.

You withheld the whole truth and this backfired on you. So what have you learned?

Do you think you'd be in detention this saturday if you said "I was running late this morning when I left the house, and then unfortunately I got a puncture, hence me being 20 minutes late" in the beginning?

All of a sudden, that puncture becomes the primary reason for you being late - anyone, even your head of year, knows that a puncture takes at least 15 minutes to fix up. Now 20 minutes doesn't sound so bad.

In short, you have just learned the power of honesty SamJT. Use it well.

The man is 17 years of age! Don't you think it's a little patronising to get all Aesop's Fables on him?

It's only Aesop's if he gets eaten by the big wolf at school for lying

the european court of human rights is that ' a ' way >>>>>>>>>

i bet even in guantanamo they wouldn't get three hours just for being late

he would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky teachers

I had 2 Saturday detentions during high school.

I blew a condom up in class when our French teacher didn't look like she was going to show. 15 minutes later, the assistant principal turned up to take the class as it was bouncing around the room. Fun fail.

The second was in Media class. We were learning to use the video camera and messing about. The next day, my media teacher called me into his office at lunchtime and the film was paused on my bare arse after id hung a big moon while my mate was filming. Funnyman cried when they called Mum.

It sounds like a parallel dimension to me! Is this what 6th form in London is all about or is it a private school thing? Suits? Detention? Calling your parents to see whether you're lying? At my run of the mill 6th form we all wore disastrous grungy hair, Cure T shirts and a miserable demeanour. Also used to get stoned before class and find any reason at all to be somewhere else doing something else... Never did me any harm (not true - life could have been so different).

Haha! Now that sounds like college

How can day schools be considered posh?

It had a boarding house.

A boarding house full of wankers.

I would love to have 3 hours chilling out on my own on a Saturday morning.

just to give you old folk some hope, there are still some of us that uphold these traditions

does the teacher in charge of the detention know OP ? maybe you could offer to do the 3hrs for him for a small fee ?

Balki went to Media classes.

This thread has value.

has the £1 been paid to the forum yet?

yup i donated on OP's behalf
him mum stopped his pocket money this week and next because he was late

That's Grimm.
