Detention Center

[namsteven]

Dear Teachers,

a. My son is becoming more and more physical with me when he doesn’t get his way.
- “get his way” means “get what he requires or wants”, right?

b. a “Detention center” is a “small prison for teenagers who don’t want to go to school”, right? Does this center only exist in the US?

Thanks very much
