Abstract
Three years ago, when the writer first entered the Cedar Falls Junior High School as a classroom teacher, students who did not conform to school regulations were assigned to detention during the period following the regular school day. The policy was to assign each teacher to one week of detention duty on a rotating basis as part of the teaching load. It was apparent that the teachers considered the detention assign.ment among the least desirable of their duties. The primary objective of detention was to make the experience disagreeable enough that the students would conform to school regulations and remain off the detention list. Teachers employed various methods for utilizing the period ranging from having the students watch the clock to making them copy at random from dictionaries. Little consideration was given to pupil activities of a constructive nature or why the same children were in the room one or more times each week.
