Question: Should after-school detention be banned?
Position‹2 of 2: Yes, after-school detention should be banned

After-school detention is typically a badly-implemented method of occupying students, but it blurs educator-parental figure boundaries and frequently changes how students think about their teachers, as they become primary disciplinary figures rather than educators.

Teachers should act as educators, not disciplinarians for their students
Schools are overstepping in their attempts to keep kids in line; schools should only be disciplining students for things that occur in the classroom and the school day itself, rather than bleed out into a student’s everyday life.
