Inappropriate Clapping
So far, we’ve read a few examples of punishments that seem quite deserving, but this one is the complete opposite. How can you give detention to someone for a reason as bizarre as this one?! If I were the mom, I would’ve done the exact same thing because it’s utterly hilarious!
Although it’s hard to calculate exactly how many students get a detention every year, some sources claim that referrals in offices, at least in elementary schools, result in detention in 13% of cases. I wonder how many of these were for bogus reasons like “inappropriate clapping?” Hopefully, it wasn’t too many!
