Ban after school detentions and isolation punishments in school

Closed 42 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop detentions after school..children are put at risk when walking home alone and sometimes in the dark.. it isn't acceptable in my opinion.
Also stop isolation punishment..look at other options..we had to write lines
Its wrong to give half an hour detention for being q minute late.
These children are people not objects and shouldn't in my opinion and others be made to sit in what children call a box and stare at a wall for what could be up to 1.5 hours at a time and pupils cannot turnaround even.
