I Got A Detention

When I was about 10 I was caught during the lunch break in a part of the school playing field that was strictly out of bounds. The lady teacher who caught me sent me to stand in the corridor outside the headmaster's study. I was afraid that she might ask the head to cane me, but she let me off with a public dressing down and an hour's detention.

I got a few detentions when I was in school. Fortunately, I never had to worry that a teacher or principal would cane me for that. But misbehaving in school could always mean to get a spanking from my dad when he heard about it.

@RobinPhoenix When we got a detention we had to take our punishment book home to be signed by our parents. That was hugely embarrassing, but I never got an additional punishment at home.

I am happy for you, you didn´t get another punishment at home. My father was usually very strict about misbehavior at school. And detention at school was not a sufficient punishment for him. But having to have a detention in school did not always mean a spanking at home. It depended on the circumstances.
