         Er... *goes back to reread that*

         My god.  And my mother thought *I* was a whiny little cow.  If I'd 
come into school by a fire door, they'd have sent me to in-house detention 
for a good month.  This girl (a) has no concept of what civil rights 
entail, (b) needs to learn the difference between good and bad attention, 
and (c) needs to grow up.  I think an argument could be made that a 
lunchtime detention does not, in fact, intrude on her free time as she is 
at school for the period and therefore subject to its governance.

         Oh, what I'd give to sic Severus on her.  That might give her a 
better idea of the *real* meaning of detention.  Those lunch 
periods?  Child's play.

Sushi, who only suffered detention once, and *that* for sitting down in her 
chair, after running a quarter mile across campus, just as the bell stopped 
ringing (I was a female Percy before getting it through my skull that 
slacking can be healthy)
