Detention is a very weird idea. Also sit in the corner, go up to your room. Never had any of those forms of disciplinary action as a kid.

funny how 'being grounded' becomes a good thing as an adult. What else changes meaning from kid -> adult?

not just schools. American home punishments too. I was never "grounded" in my life.

I've had to stand in the corner, sit in a dark closet with the door locked, grounded a lot. Irony: I was a good kid! Mom was a tyrant.

. Never understood why some kids hated being sent to their room. Seems like they can't stand being alone, which doesn't seem healthy.

punishment for extroverts?

I guess most kids in India were introduced to the concept thro archie comics. Remember thinking of it (wrongly) as a fun punishment :)
