What is the problem? A kid has to stay in detention for being tardy, granted, it's the parent's fault.

Where is the child suffering here? Ooooh how painful it must be for her to sit down and do nothing for a while. Truly, this is injustice and muh rights. In all honesty, they're overreacting. I read the entire article and I don't see any injustice or abuse of power or whatever. Other than the parents missing some work hours or schedule conflicts, it is really nothing to get our panties in a bunch. The school is being strict, as schools should be. Plus, the parents were required to sign off on the policy, right? Yes, we all make mistakes and we are human beings but life is fully of consequences, even for the smallest of things.

Getting punished for not doing anything wrong is what's wrong here.

Oh boo hoo. It's detention, it's really no big deal, the little girl probably doesn't give a damn about it. American families are far too sensitive, in my honest opinion. How about we let the school do their job, since you won't allow kids/teens to be educated on safe sex, etc. cause it might scar them or some bullshit. It is common sense that it wasn't the kid's fault but nevertheless, somebody had to get scolded.

On a side note, it must be a slow news day if this has people talking. It's detention, DETENTION. It is literally just sitting there doing nothing or doing some repetitive mundane task. That doesn't even classify as punishment, no matter how crazy the policy is.

On another, @sethnintendo, calm you tits bro. From most of your posts today, you seem to be having a serious case of the rustled jimmies.

Kids' punishments aren't exactly harsh compared to adults' so something as trivial as detention WILL feel like a punishment to the kid. If it doesn't, why not remove detention altogether? Anyway, the kid is going to wonder what she got punished for, what she did wrong. There's no way she'll understand it was the school's stupid practice instead of her doing something wrong, she's only six. Kids that age don't understand things as clearly as you do.
