Doing your reasonable best in life takes practice and is a habit to be developed.

Disrupting one's own learning and even the learning of others can waste a fleeting opportunity.

In the old days, kids who misbehaved repeatedly in some school systems were simply pushed UP a grade (for example, moved from 7th to 8th) so that they would be among older kids and would have to work harder to keep up.

I'm not at all sure that was a bad idea. Sometimes (though not always), a lack of sufficient challenge explains inattention to the tasks presented.
İ got detention once,i was the only kid in detention,i decided to do homework,teacher didnt let me,she said i have to sit and do nothing at all,no homework no reading ..etc,the whole period she walked and made circles araund me like a shark .now that i think of it,i think it was against human rights.this happened freshman year in high school.
Just don't forget: maybe they're too polite or too scared or too shy to say it, but many kids in a classroom -- MOST actually -- want to learn. In this challenging world we need every advantage we can get. So it's usually best not to throw away opportunity.

Weirdly, mathematics and history and yes, even grammar, have their charms when given half a chance. And phys ed? Oh, don't get me started on how wonderful it can be. It's the bee's knees. The actual knees of the bees. So long as it involves a round ball of some sort. In Liverpool.
@Oportunist (post 16), that sounds like an incredibly wasteful use of detention time on the teacher's part. I'm not a fan of detention as a teaching tool to begin with, but that is petty to the point of silliness.
I know a girl in my class start english homework at 9:15 and finish at 3:15( end of school?! )
