Ok 10 days is a long time. But maybe it's not only for the punishment, why they make it that long. It's also done - if I understood it right - that the parents will surely the opportunity to explain everything in all detail to the child. Now this could be a problem anyway. The children may not have this kind of *support* at home, what could be an explanation for their behavior on the other hand. In this case the method of punishment would be obsolete. I guess it depends on the individual situation - like it always does.
