Controversy arises, even, with the question of whether or not teachers should apply any discipline to their students, or leave it up to the parents. One of the most common practices in dealing with misbehaving students is holding after school detention. But by keeping students after school hours, are teachers exercising their rights, or going too far?
Is detention an effective solution to class disruptions, or would it spur future problems? Shared or not, anonymous or not, the journal achieves value and redemptive quality for the student.

Objectives Students will learn about changes that occurred in the New World and Old World as a result of early exploration.
Older students only. Besides strange people and animals, they were exposed to many foods that were unknown in the Old World.
In this lesson, you might post an outline map of the continents on a bulletin board. On the bulletin board, draw an arrow from the New World the Americas to the Old World Europe, Asia, Africa and post around it drawings or images from magazines or clip art of products discovered in the New World and taken back to the Old World.
You might draw a second arrow on the board -- from the Old World to the New World -- and post appropriate drawings or images around it. Adapt the Lesson for Younger Students Younger students will not have the ability to research foods that originated in the New and Old World. You might adapt the lesson by sharing some of the food items in the Food Lists section below.
Have students collect or draw pictures of those items for the bulletin board display. Students might find many of those and add them to the bulletin board display. Notice that some items appear on both lists -- beans, for example. There are many varieties of beans, some with New World origins and others with their origins in the Old World.
In our research, we found sources that indicate onions originated in the New and sources that indicate onions originated in the Old World. Students might create a special question mark symbol to post next to any item for which contradictory sources can be found Note: The Food Timeline is a resource that documents many Old World products.
This resource sets up a number of contradictions. For example: Many sources note that tomatoes originated in the New World; The Food Timeline indicates that tomatoes were introduced to the New World in Try starting with, "I'm bored" and go from there. You may find a lot of new and interesting ideas spilling out when you release your thoughts without filter.
Look around the room and find three things and try to incorporate all of them into a short story. For example, write a story that includes an eraser, a lunchbox, and a boy named Jason. If you like drawing, try drawing or doodling in your notebook. Draw a rough sketch of the teacher overseeing detention. Draw a picture of a scene outside. Doodle a fun comic to pass the time. Create a challenge for yourself. Oftentimes, boredom stems from a lack of challenges. If you're being forced to sit and do nothing, this can grow boring.
If you want to combat boredom, try to think of a challenge for yourself to pass the time. See if you can write down the lyrics from memory. Write the alphabet down the side of a piece of paper. Then, pick a category, like "Girl's names. For example, "A. Ava, Ada, Annie, B. Bonnie, Bridget, Brita, C.
Cassie, Carol, Camille If so, try to write down that poem you had to memorize for 8th grade English on a piece of paper. See how long it takes to write it down. Then, try to beat that time. If you're allowed to do so, reading can be a great way to pass the time.
You can escape to the world of a book, making the hours fly by more easily. Ideally, you should choose a book you're reading for pleasure. If you're reading a book for school, you may feel bored by it more easily.
However, some schools may have rules that dictate you have to do homework during detention. Try to at least pick a book that deals with a subject you enjoy. If you loathe your science class, but always enjoyed history, thumb through your history textbook during detention. Some teachers may allow you to read as long as it's educational. Try to find fun educational books in your school's library.
New Journalism, for example, is a form of journalism that uses literary techniques to talk about historical events. It can be more engaging than a typical history book. Try reading some Gore Vidal and Joan Didion and see if you feel engaged.
Listen to music or podcasts on your headphones. If you're able to listen to your headphones in detention, this can be a fun way to pass the time.
Try listening to a podcast you like or an album you enjoy. This can make detention pass by more easily. If you're not allowed to listen to your headphones, you may be able to do so in secret. If you have a hooded sweatshirt, for example, pull up your hood and place your headphones in your ears. If you're listening to anything not appropriate for school, keep the volume low so your teacher doesn't overhear.
Take a walk through the halls. Oftentimes, a short walk can help to alleviate boredom. If you feel like the time is dragging on, a short walk through the hallway can break up the monotony. Ask for the bathroom pass or claim you need to get something from your locker.
Then, enjoy the freedom of walking through the hallway for a few minutes. If you take 15 minutes to run to the bathroom, or are getting your science book for 20 minutes, your teacher will get suspicious. You may end up in more trouble than you were to begin with.
Daydreaming can be an excellent way to pass the time in any given situation.
