My 11 yr old yr 7 son has been issued an after school detention for disrespecting a new teacher.

We never had them at my high school and wanted to know what you all thought of them.

Myself, I'm currently at whits end with him calling me a fucking bitch and pushing me etc (another thread for another day) so I'm hoping this might give him a bit of a shock.

Detention was a thing in the 70's when I was at secondary school and still 15 years ago when my DC was at school.

I assume he has had all access to the internet removed too?
