Bender (Judd Nelson) continuously provokes Principal Vernon (Paul Gleason) into giving him extra Saturday detentions. It is later implied that Bender does this intentionally, because he'd rather be with Vernon at school on a Saturday than home with his abusive father. It's also implied (during the scene where Vernon escorts him to the closet and rips into him) that he acts the way he does because he'd rather have people think he's a tough troublemaker than a troubled abuse victim. Overall, it shows that he has more tolerance (and possibly more respect) to deal with Vernon than his parents.
