I mean, I understand the idea of discipline and all, but there's a clear difference between discipline and slave-driving! Geez, I went to Catholic high school and was slapped with detention for stuff like having my shoelaces un-tied or throwing snowballs, but even then the teachers were pretty compassionate - was more of a case of "sorry buddy, gonna have to write you up for that one" followed by picking up garbage on the lawn for half an hour after school (useful community service!) than "GO HOME FOR A WEEK AND WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT WHAT YOU DID WRONG MISTER".
Stupid, stupid.
