Does suspending students work? Sometimes at schools there's a lot of things happening that sometimes the administrators can not control everyone at the sametime. So that's why sometimes that's the best thing to do to suspend a student from school but at the same time give him the work he's gonna miss out on. Also by suspending a student is not gonna change him is gonna change him by thinking twice of what he does but not his way of being. When some students in my school get suspended and they come back to school some students come back but they follow the schools policies and others come back but the are more reckless and they don't obey the yard moms.
I think of suspension as taking time off from school and reflect on the mistake you made in school. But sometime some schools go overboard with the time of suspension and they give the student too many days off school that sometimes it make him fail all his classes because of the work he missed. I've had some friend that got suspended for two weeks and they cant manage to get their grades up because they missed a lot of work that can't be redone so

So what the school did was change my detention days to saturday detention and i would have to come or they would add more demerits.”some schools have implemented either in school suspension or saturday suspension so that the students are not rewarded by being excused from school and wont missout on school work”. So this quote from the article is basically saying what most schools are starting to do because they don't want to suspend students and make them miss a lot of work. So i think in school suspension is more better than sending them home and or saturday detention so they can think and reflect on their mistake. So i do agree on schools suspending students for breaking school rules and keeping them in saturday's or in school
Firstly, if there are no more troublemakers in the school, the students that want to learn will be able to learn without any distractions; also, there would be no one to bully them, and there would be no interference in their ability to learn. If we permanently ban such students from school, educators could focus more on the students who want to learn instead of focusing on troublemakers. Secondly, the students that doesn`t want to be in schools wouldn’t be wasting their time anymore. Troublemakers do not learn anything by attending the school because they have no interest in studies, and all they are doing is wasting their time. They could use this time for doing something that they want to do, or something that they are interested in. Lastly, their absence will provide a safer school environment. Troublemakers always try to get into fights against others; in fact, they have no fear of security. By their actions, they could put other students into big troubles. Their mind is always seeking for attention, and they could do anything to attain others` attention; as a result, the environment of the school gets disturbed. By not letting them into the school, we could provide a safer environment for the students that really wants to learn. Overall, banning troublemakers would be helpful for students that are serious about their
They help keep schools and students safe and provide a positive learning environment. This has idea has just been taken too far by school administrators (Wison, 2014). We live in a society where more and more rights have been given to juveniles which have also back fired on us. In days past schools could hand out discipline as well as parents, which in turn could put an end to minor behaviors, where now they are often allowed to advance into things worse, where school administrators see no other choice but to suspend and expel (Wison, 2014). Likewise, we cannot be suspending and expelling students at the drop of a hat because what they did may fall into a gray area, yes there are times when it is needed, but school administrators need to take the time to step back and look at the situation and stop overreacting (Wison, 2014). Suspension and expulsion results in missed classroom time, causing some students to fall so far behind they stop caring about the school work and drop out. Other students are being forced into the criminal justice system ending up with records that can haunt them for life. Eliminating the school-to-prison pipeline will allow these students who are likely to fall into its trap to be able to have a change at a successful life (Wison,
Students’ rights in schools are limited or just taken away. Kids are forced to do whatever the officials at their school, either the principal or the teachers, tell the students to do. One of the main right that gets taken away or limited is students’ first amendment rights, which is the freedom of expression. Students can gets suspended by just doing things the staff at the school does not like, including saying things that they don 't like or supporting a religion that the school does not support. Also, if something is said about the school or the people attending the school is said on social media that student can also get in a lot of trouble. Students should be able to have more first amendment
Suspended children are missing out on valuable school time. These children often miss out on important exams and assignments. “Many of these children are missing out on the education their schools are providing, and they are learning far worse lessons away from those schools” (Henault 548).
The increase in school shootings and violence by kids inside their own places of learning shows the validity of the studies. Schools are looking for a more positive way to enforce discipline. Suspension and expulsion are proving to be a far less effective way of invoking discipline for juveniles. Time away from school results in kids having more free time on their hands with nothing constructive or educational to do. This causes the juveniles to involve themselves in criminal activities that usually begin petty, but after time the offenses increase in magnitude.
Hence, the policies work when holding people accountable for their actions. For all these reasons, it could be reasoned that schools across the country need the Zero Tolerance
Suspending students from school sometimes is not the best thing for them. They sometimes need counseling instead. When the school sees an issue with a student it should be addressed right then, instead of waiting to see if anything else comes from it. But not only should schools keep an eye on the students but outsiders also. The best way to do this is through good security measures. Mass Media can cause people to want to follow in others footsteps and this can be an issue for future problems. Is there ever going to be an end to school violence? Probably not but we can do what we can to decrease the occurrences.
In the article, “The Impact of School Suspensions and Expulsions on Dropping Out,” Lawrence M. DeRidder (1990) argues, “the courts have held that children who have been suspended or expelled from school still have right to public education” (
These kids don’t misbehave in the classroom for no reason. They are probably releasing those emotions that are bottled up from them at home in school. Not coming from a stable background can have quite the effect on trying to learn in a classroom. The problems that need to be fixed are trying to make schools feel more like a “safe haven” rather than a prison. Afterschool programs need to be put into place, to allow kids to stay at school for long so they don’t get involved in street life, or so they can just not have to deal with the outside problems of the world for a little bit longer. Also, school need to change. They need to try and make learning more fun, and more integrated with the children they are teaching. An easy an example of this is teaching these kids about their history, so they have many people to look up to besides just Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks. Only teaching black and Latino kids about people that don’t even look like them or go through anything they have gone through, makes them bored and uneager to learn. Also, more rewards in to be into place to make kids feel more welcomed and wanting to do good in class. Even though it may seem out of the ordinary for some, suspension needs to stop. Allowing these kids to take a break from somewhere they already don’t want to be is ushering them towards a life of hating school. Suspension not only hurt the school district but also hurt the
Since the 70s, many schools applied “zero-tolerance” policies requiring suspensions for certain offenses, leading to significantly more suspension overall, with rates nearly doubling from 1973 to 2006. These rates also exacerbated Pelenur 2 inequality, with Black students roughly four times as likely to be suspended as white students (2014, Department of Education Office for Civil Rights; 2018
By keeping the students within the school they are still able to be monitored to ensure that they are still getting their work done and keeping up with the class. Also, by having them out of the class, the environment becomes more learning friendly to the students who do not cause trouble. According to Claiborne Winborne, a writer for Educational Leadership, “Keeping suspended students at school – but isolated from other students - makes more sense and is more effective than giving them a ‘vacation’ away from school.” (King William County, 466)
According to a study done by the Washington Post, in the 2011-2012 school year suspension rates dropped by a large percentage, but students in the United States still missed approximately eighteen million days of school due to out of school suspension or expulsion. Involved in the same study, researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles found school districts in Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, and Pennsylvania that showed extremely high rates of suspension for elementary school children, sometimes higher than twenty percent. According to the study, across all grade levels, sixteen percent of black students were suspended during the 2011-2012 school year, compared to five percent of white students. Researchers have linked out of school suspensions to greater risk of academic failure, an increase in dropouts, and a higher involvement with the juvenile justice system. In an effort to decrease the amount of time students miss class due to suspension, the federal government issued discipline guidelines in 2014 to help reduce the time students miss class, reduce the racial gap in suspension rates, and avoid suspensions that shouldn’t have been given in the first place.
This punishment could be counted as one of many of the probable causes on what causes a students grades to suddenly plummet. Likewise parents and teachers are meeting each other halfway and coming to agreement and come to the acception of disciplining a student in a effective way that accommodates both the student. So as a result detentions could be effective on the students behalf if schools and parents come together and discuss what should be issued during the
Voter Fraud and the Real Problem According to the Presidential candidate Donald Trump, the election is “rigged” and there is “large scale fraud” occurring at the polls. Many people have the same thought as Trump and want voter id laws for their protection. Although voter fraud may seem like a serious problem, in reality it’s not.
During this time, they are free to play, hang out, eat lunch, or study for the test. Not for these delinquent students, because this is the only time they would likely cause another disturbance and get involved into another fight. If that ever happens, even it happens a lot, the teachers can pull out their last trick to discipline these delinquents. The delinquents will go to the schoolyard and do a full clean up and make sure that not even a single paper wrap or candy warp is on the ground. It was a little injustice because not only it is waste of time but also cut a lot of times for them to review their schoolwork and homework for the
