Thomas Jefferson High School Detention(留堂) Policy

The school knows well that students need to grow and mature. Part of growth involves making positive academic and lifestyle decisions or choices. If students’ decisions are contrary to Thomas Jefferson High’s expectations and standards, students will be held responsible. Homework time after school may be one of the consequences.

Reasons for After School Detention include but are not limited to the following: 1. Late homework or incomplete work (A detention will be given when a fourth incomplete or late homework occurs in any subject).

2. Behavior that disturbs with school purposes or educational processes. Please refer to the teacher’s classroom rules, Rules of Behavior, and Code of Conduct, which are posted in each classroom.

Under normal circumstances, a student will be given a warning (and possibly other in-school consequences) before being given a detention. They will be warned that further behavior of the same type will result in a detention. However, if the behavior problem is severe enough, the student may be given a detention without a warning.

If students fail to follow Thomas Jefferson High School’s requirements, they would be given detentions as punishment. Reasons for detention include late or incomplete homework and other disturbing behaviors.

This reminds me of my friend Li Hua’s experience in primary school. One day, he was talking with another classmate in class although the teacher had warned him several times. As a result, he had to stay for an extra hour after school.

In my opinion, detention has its advantages in educating misbehaved students. For one thing, with the detention policy, we students will learn that we should be responsible for our behavior. For another thing, the policy can make us finish our homework on time, which is good for our academic development.

However, there are other ways to make students work hard. For example, teachers can reward us with small gifts if we do a good job. Besides, students can be divided into groups to compete with each other so that we will work harder.
