You guys are bitching about this article when there are parents that are jailed for their kids skipping school. Also, her detention was nothing compared to my detentions. Hell, they even let family chill with her during detention. Did they make her write stupid sentences over and over again till hand was pretty much in pain? You guys sound like pussies that are bitching.

It was the parents fault for making her late and for signing the agreement before the school year. The parents probably didn't even read what they were signing or didn't care. If they cared or had issue with what they were required to sign then they should have chosen another school.

This like a pointless Fox news story that tries to get people upset over a non issue. Oh wow! She had to spend lunch with her dad and grandma... Cry me a river.

It's called common sense and the complete removal of it from society.  Like someone spilling coffee on themselves and needing a warning label informing you that the coffee is in fact, hot.   This isn't some discussion about your apparent 'rough' childhood.  This is about a common sense, waste of time punishment that serves no viable purpose.  

While the parents probably did skim over this agreement.  It's the principle that this whole concept is patently stupid.
