I don't know what your talking about.
Again, im in 7th grade
All I heard was crying about how middle school life is so tough.
I had lots of giant homework assignments, including 6 page front-and-back worksheets.
You were likely given two weeks detention because you had been causing trouble prior to that. There are incredibly few teachers who would really give two weeks + a Saturday just because you were seen talking to someone else unless it's already been a big problem and you've been warned. You're kids, not convicts. They're not going to throw down the worst punishment they can think of in 3 seconds just for these things.
