Well, this is more of a personal matter, so if any of yous know much on teachers discriminating and abusing their discretion over student, please inbox

I got my 1st detention last week for watching youtube in class :( i couldnt find the detention room so i went home, I got 2 detentions this week, I did one yesterday from 12-3 and other was today from 8am-11am, I was sick and didn't go, my coordinator called me and said I have a meeting with him and my parents are required to come on top of that i will have detention every since week when i come back from holidays for 2 hours per week.

What can I do?

thanks.

Your fault to choose to go home, you shouldve went to see the head teacher or the deputy to notify that you dont know where the room is. The fact that you went home showed you were ignorant.

Do you have a doctors certificate or a note from your parent/caregiver?

that is so gg, I would probably get parents involved saying that I'm willing to sit the detention, and ask for no further detentions for missing the previous one.

if you missed any sort of detention at my school you were f****d, if you missed 20 minute lunch, instant upgrade to 30minutes friday arvo which notified your parents. if you missed 30minute friday arvo, instant upgrade to 2 hours the following week

This pretty much, you should have done more.

It was the same at my HS, skipping a detention without a good reason meant that they upgraded the punishment big time. Look, you might have a case for mitigation, but I dont think that you will be able to avoid punishment completely for missing the first detention.

why dont you man up, accept you were wrong and stop looking for excuses or somewhere to pass off the blame?

You were wrong, not them. Why didn't you abide by their processes?

the issue isnt the first detention that i skipped, its about the last detention that i failed to attend because I was sick, "8am-11am, I was sick and didn't go, my coordinator called me and said I have a meeting with him and my parents are required to come on top of that i will have detention every since week when i come back from holidays for 2 hours per week."

Like I said, do you have a doctor certificate or a note from your parents/caregiver(s)? If you dont, then it is the same as jigging a detention from the point of view of the teacher. They dont know you are sick until you present some form of evidence. Because they havent seen any evidence, that is why your coordinator elevated your punishment.
