One Down; who knows how many more?

Gave my first detention today. Well not a real detention, a teacher-detention. But still, I have now given one.

I won't get into details, but a male student was being ridiculously inappropriate in class, so I told him he had to see me after school.

When he got to my room after school (on time even) I handed him an index card with an assignment:

In a 300 (or more) word hand-written essay, explaining why what you did was ridiculously inappropriate. Due: Thursday.

Yes I could have been stricter, but with the circumstances of it all, I thought I handled it well. It at least sends a message to him and the rest of the class.
