As a parent I'd want to talk to the teacher with my child present, to show them both that more reasonable methods should be employed. I would not allow my child to attend the detention for being correct. As a trained teacher, my response to disruptive and challenging kids (and there are plenty) was always to engage them for a few minutes, then if we were at an impasse I'd say we were going to shelve the topic for another time so we could move on, then readdress it. I always kinda liked it when the kids would get passionate about arguing, because it meant they were engaged and listening, even if it was only because they thought I was wrong.
But when I was a kid; moving away from the town every single year( sometimes more than once a semester) gave me quite a bit of experience dealing with shitty teachers with power trips, and they always regretted trying to fuck with me. Since I had no fear of long term repercussions I would make the insolent teacher have a verrrrrry long year, just for my own amusement and to alleviate boredom. There were some schools I returned to during later years where I found my name had grown out of an actual event into legend, and it was a little disturbing. Shit took on a life of its own...
