School Administration Won't Budge, Dad Takes Detention Rap


Despite a litany of reasonable excuses, this school administration was determined to send someone to detention. This person's dad, being a bro, decided to show up for detention and make a point regarding the absurdity of the whole situation. Sometimes school faculty isn't this rigid and vindictive, like these teachers who pulled total bro moves.

They had a policy that three tardies (with a good excuse or not) across a semester would automatically assign an after school detention. I was a really really good kid; never got in trouble, ever; always really nice and friendly to everybody; worked really hard at everything I did from sports to studies (even if I wasn't the best

Vertebrate - beleif 13 hours ago It is ridiculous that if you arrive by car late, its a tardy. But if a bus is late, not a tardy. Literally in the same traffic. Vote • I Reply Share Report Save TropicLush 13 hours ago Totally agree.
