I don't know if this applies to all schools but I think a parents opinion can overall any decision except expulsion and suspension. From experience my dad has told teachers that I will not be attending detentions because he doesn't want me to and nothing has happened. I live in the UK and I don't know whether it is the same elsewhere. The only thing you might want to think about is the personal relations your son might have with that particular teacher after the detention date. The teacher might hold it against your son and he may suffer for it. Hope this helps.

If you truly disagree with the reasons behind the detention, I would speak with the principal. My son and his teacher disagreed over a project he presented and she wanted him to be disqualified from a trip the other kids were going on. I immediately called and requested a meeting with the teacher and the principal and it was cleared up in my son's favor.
