Closed Ban schools from giving detentions to students

Closed on

I think the Government should ban schools being able to give pupils detentions.

I believe that detentions are an unjust behavioural correction method. I don't think that detentions work as intended. I think banning detentions and instead building up a mutual level of respect between students and teachers is a better option. I think that every school needs to follow this. Please sign this petition to make them do that.
