Generally,it is for a decided amount of time,yes,but,this time,it was related to his grades.

      ah ok and i think if the grades hadn't improved he would have been back in the cage very quickly right?

          Vanessa If his grades hadn't improved,he would had to stay longer in it.

          but you said it was temporary. what exactly was the criterion?

              Angelina

              Until he got 2-3 good grades,and so,proved he managed to improve these.

                  and as long as this did not happen, the punishment was simply extended again and again, or how can i imagine this?

                      Angelina A temporary punishment need not have a fixed term. It is still temporary if there is a way out that does not take years and/or a fundamental life change. She said that usually (at least that is how I interpret the "generally") the punishments were for a predetermined time, but that does not mean that this particular instance was.

                          I see it differently, at least I would call it differently

                            Vanessa Exactly,often it is for two weeks to a month,but,this time,it was until his grades improved.

                            so it was always different? sometimes for a time and sometimes until the grades improved?

                                Vanessa It was the only time it was not for a set duration,so more an exception

                                ah ok, of course not so good for your brother

                                    Angelina

                                    Yes,but not the best to prove they were right when thinking it would make him improves his grades.

                                        of course, like many things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages and besides, we probably agree that there are better ways to get better grades. 😉
