Camborne Science and International Academy in Cornwall has faced backlash for the "harsh" detentions, which are also known as "reflection" time. Parents say their children are being penalised for begging for bathroom breaks, removing blazers during a heatwave and forgetting a clear pencil case. Some parents allege that their children were suspended for not paying enough attention or resting their hands on a desk. Another claimed their child was penalised for yawning. Jemma Tresidder, 38, claims her son only spent half a day in lessons during his first week back at school. She said he was sent to 'reflection' on the second day of term for being two minutes late to class. The situation escalated when he failed to complete his reflection activity due to a bathroom break, resulting in his suspension. She said: "They even rang me on Friday to ask why he wasn't in school but he was suspended on Thursday and they said they would ring me to let me know when he was allowed back but didn't. The school just seems to be putting all the kids who misbehave in one class and then there is a massive hall and it looks like nearly 100 students a day are in reflection." She also claimed that one of her son's teachers admitted that as many as 30 students had been suspended in just one day last week. Parents Laura and Julian Ward have withdrawn their son from school because of the rules, reports Cornwall Live. Mrs Ward claims her son was also sent to reflection for being minutes late and for three-and-a-half hours was not allowed to use the toilet or have his lunch. She said: "They really upset my son. I think it's an absolute joke." More than 1,400 members have joined a Facebook community group, calling for chan){kind=link}
