| Has anyone else ever noticed this? They're made to stay after school or clean things sometimes, but it's never referred to as "detention". Is this just not a common punishment in Japan? |

| Well you can see some of them lifting buckets or be counseled. Not a common practice I guess. |

| what no, it's a task... student responsible to their environtment cleanliness... not a punishment... it's common in east Asia and SEA... it does however oftenly used as punishment... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| If you don't know, the students are supposed to clean up the school. Most schools in Japan don't really have janitors. So it's not punishment, it's just their responsibility. |

| detention is an american meme tho i saw the "sit in hallway holding buckets" trope as punishment a few times, idk if you can call that detention though |
 |
| We don't have detention where we live. If we got caught doing something mischievous then we got thrown out of the class and if it was something serious then they called our parents. |

| At least they get bullied from what I've heard, doesn't that almost the same? |
| Southeast Asia, can confirm Kuma's point. Having students clean the classroom after class hours is employed both as character-building activity and cost-cutting measures. Not sure about using that as punishment as a rule but it does happen from time to time. |

| Tongue in cheek observation: The kids are at school (JHS/HS), where I live in Japan, pretty well 6 or 7 days a week. Thus no need for detention! (^_-) |
| Detention was like a primary school thing, there was no such thing after we got older. |

| Some countries don't have detention... Those countries usually have a better education system... |
| I forgot detention was actually a thing until now |

| Like someone else mentioned, I also saw one that had something to do with buckets. I guess it's a culture thing. Japanese kids are supposed to be more disciplined. |
