I don\'t see what the big deal is tho.. on both sides. I mean, it sounds like your teacher is a real anal retentive bytch if she\'s just going to up and give you a detention like that. On the other hand, it\'s just a 20 min detention. Go or don\'t go.. it doesn\'t really matter does it? I don\'t see what the big deal is. I used to skip out on detentions all the time and just push it to the edge of suspension until I HAD to go. Then I\'d jus sit there and do crossword puzzle races with the teacher or sleep for two & a half hours.
Course, if you really wanted to jus do it my way you\'d push the line to point of crossing.. get kicked out.. and then end up going to an Alternitive HS where you only go 3 hours a day, hold a job, do school work at your own pace (making credits far easier to get if you actually DO what you\'re supposed to), and get two smoke breaks a day.
