Abstract

In the context of contemporary challenges within educational systems, analysing the use of detention rooms is crucial to understanding their impact on students, teachers, and the school community. This study explores the pros and cons of detention rooms, highlighting their advantages, such as reducing disruptive behaviours, preventing total exclusion of students, and promoting respect for rules. It also addresses significant drawbacks, including negative psychological effects, inefficiency in behavior modification, and disproportionate application to disadvantaged groups. An ethical analysis based on principles such as autonomy, non-maleficence, justice, and beneficence reveals multiple challenges, ranging from social stigmatization of students to perpetuation ofracial and socio-economic inequalities. The study underscores the needfor adopting more inclusive and restorative educational approaches that promote students' holistic well-being and development. The findings provide a robust foundation for educational reforms aimed at balancing discipline with support, ultimately contributing to afair and student-centred school environment.
