[quote=Anonymous]I’m not in DC, but my kids’ middle school had “detention.” They called it office hours. It was for kids to go get extra help or have a place to work on homework. It helped for parents who didn’t want to have latchkey kids. It was also used as a dentention of sorts. If a kid was misbehaving or got behind in class, they could be assigned mandatory office hours. The kids had to notify their parents and the teacher had to witness the notification, and they’d go and do schoolwork. It helped kids get and stay on track. It wasn’t really meant to be a harsh punishment, but it seemed to be good the way the school used it. [/quote]
