Sick and Detention

It's been a while since I've posted. I have been sick again. But seeing as I'm up to the computer I must be feeling better. At least well enough to be grumpy. Which leads me to the "detention" section of this post.
Grace and I haven't been able to attend classes with me being ill, so it's kind of crazy trying to keep up from home. Our plan is to try a couple of 1/2 days this week. Haven't been to school, but thanks to facebook we can keep up on some of the scuttlebutt from school. Today I ran across someone's complaint about serving detention. This kid was complaining that it was boring, and they did nothing but sit and text. I'm so sorry, where in the rules of how to keep kids entertained does it say detention is supposed to be anything but boring? And they got to use their phones? That's crazy! Detention is supposed to be in place to maybe teach a little lesson to not do whatever you did to get a detention in the first place. That's like saying  I went to jail and there was nothing to do but sit and wait till my time was up. Guess they expect a movie or stand up comic? But in this person's defense they did say that they didn't even do anything to deserve the detention. Bet that kid is the first to use that excuse.
I warned ya I'm grumpy!!!
