Detention wasn't a thing at my school. It's still not in most schools in India. In place of detention we have punishments like a beating, be a cock or be a chair, or a good lecture. We have rules like no kid is to be beaten at schools by teachers but our parents allow it. If you talk to older people in India, they would be all praise for their teacher beating them in school. I guess the teacher student bonding is deep rooted in the culture of India where Guru gets respect more than the God.

I also got so much punishment till my High School.
