Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: to be on double probation | "I'll give one more chance, but you'll be on double probation".
I guess it must be like a "periodo de prueba", but "double"?? Is that because it's the second time that he's been told off? |

Explanation:
Another option: estar a prueba (to be on probation -Collins Dcitionary; context: employment or school).
In school terms, might it mean double detention???
in which case, it would be "quedarse castigado por segunda vez" but it doesn´t ring true.
