I used to hate whole class detentions. I had a few of them in high school -- I can't remember how many. Maybe about 10, so not that many. I didn't really mind getting individual detentions that I deserved, and sometimes I got them on purpose. But I hated being punished for something somebody else did, that I had no control over. Still, I got a lot more individual detentions than whole class detentions. That's the way it should be.
I don't think I ever had the whole class get the detention when I was in school. I don't think that was the case for me.
Very lucky. I've had the entire class get in trouble but not detention. Has that happened when you were in school when you had the entire class get detention?

I don't understand your question. The entire class got detention on occasion because the whole class got in trouble when the teacher couldn't identify who had done something disruptive, and nobody confessed.

That's what I'm asking whether if the entire class got into detention at all. That's what I'm getting at and now you will understand what I'm talking about.
That's why schools should bring back corporal punishment.
I don't agree with physical punishment at all. It's much easier to "teach a lesson" by taking away privileges.
However, I really wish we could send kids home who refuse to behave. Make it a parent problem. If your kid misbehaves in a store, he/she will be asked to leave. Same thing should apply in school.

Yeah I don't agree with corporal punishment either because it can cause assault or child abuse.

The answer is yes, sometimes the entire class was kept after school. Sometimes, it was just for a short period, but a couple of times, it was for a very long detention session, stretching until late into the afternoon or early evening.

While I don't agree with corporal punishment in schools either but at least it is something that kids realize that they need to start behaving better.
I do agree that schools should send kids home when they refuse to behave especially when their behaviors are so deliberate, blatant, and flagrant. For example, I remember at a basketball game, I got into a really a fight in the stands with a guy and a couple girls and the day after that, as after I issued apology letters to those people I was given a one day out of school suspension for my acts. One of the girls that I was setting next to, I asked her to accept my apology but she didn't know but we did reconcile a couple years later even though we both graduated then. I try to forget the incident but again I was suspended, out of school, for one day. In fact that was the only time I ever got suspended from school ever. The reason why I got into that fight because I was so upset that I didn't get to play, since I was on the JV basketball team at the time. Not only was I suspended, I was also removed from the basketball team. I've learned my learned my lesson and I felt better about it when I needed punishment.
Besides in my school those who refuse to behave not only get removed from the classroom but they may get detention or suspension. And also I wish schools would have some of the Zero Tolerance Policy for certain types of behaviors, especially with those who blatantly and deliberately break school rules.
