That said one of my classes was repeatedly doing horrible things to each other in the breaks so we had a "class meeting" that began just before each break to discuss the issue (and given we could back then went on into the break for most of the break) and consisted of me talking at them about the behaviours expected of them and how tolerance and respect for each other was important, I can really drone on. After three "meetings" (each one after they had again been nasty to one another at a break) one raised his hand and said, "These meetings are going to continue until we stop being idiots aren't they?" When I grinned they all groaned and the stupid behaviour stopped. Technically a detention but framed differently and really boring for them. Unfortunately I see most meetings as a detention that rarely have anything interesting in them.
