Education Law
  All States      
Can a school require a student to remain at school after school hours?

The detention of a student for a short time after class has ended, as a penalty for inappropriate behavior, has been recognized as a legitimate method of enforcing discipline upon a student. A detention penalty must be enforced in good faith, and not with malicious, wanton, or willful motives by the teacher.
