mildest form of punishment

On the contrary, I would describe detention as the strongest form of punishment that does not involve preventing a pupil from attending school. Am I the only person who looks at it from this angle?

Depends on whether your school system paddles students. -- BD2412 ^talk 16:08, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

Detention is definitely the minor meaning. Facts&moreFacts 04:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
