Discipline in Schools: Detention, Suspension, and Expulsion

One method of disciplining children in schools is through detention, where students stay after school to complete homework or sit in a supervised classroom. Another form of punishment is suspension, where students are not allowed to come to school for a set period of time. In more severe cases, students may face expulsion, resulting in them being permanently removed from the school. These disciplinary measures vary depending on the grade level, with younger students often facing reduced recess time as a punishment. The podcast also mentions the use of writing lines as a form of discipline, where students have to copy down a sentence multiple times. The speaker recalls their own experiences with detention and describes the psychological impact of missing out on time with friends.
