School/home contract...

Dd1 is starting secondary in September, I have just had the school/home contract through the post...and I don't agree with all of it! Some of it is common sense like making sure they are in school in correct uniform and on time, and similar, the part I don't agree with is the detentions, they want me to agree to them being able to keep her up to 15 mins after school without notifying me, this will cause problems on the 2 weekdays she does an outside school activity, and also cause me huge problems because I will be collecting her at 3.15 and then going on to nursery and school for my younger dcs..they also give out Saturday morning detentions..can't they even do this? Again, this would mean her ( and possibly 3 more of my children ) missing an out of school activity, that's paid for in advance, I suppose what I'm asking is did anybody else disagree with the schools contract? The after school detention is easily sorted if they could just text me or let her text me to tell me she will be 15 mins late and I could do the other pick ups first, but the Saturday morning detentions just won't be happening...can they withdraw her place if I don't agree? Confused

You don't leave kids in your room in case they have an accident and you're sued for not supervising them or they steal stuff from your desk or ruin a display or get their phone out and just sit texting friends.

You can't leave a student in your room unsupervised due to health and safety.

It was in the tutor rooms so the tutor group would be in there eating their lunch so not alone. Teachers didn't have to be there. Times have changed I guess.

The unpaid part of my post was more to those that think we are paid for lunch.
