* Detention
What you did in detention was determined by the person — teacher
or prefect — who
had handed it out. Usually you would sit in a room on your
own, which was punishment enough for some, to write lines
or essays, or to work on a ridiculous maths problem, like
the square root of 247.91 to 6 decimal places ...
In summer stone-picking or cricket pitch rolling were the favoured punishments
for boys, especially by Reggie. |
