Are Saturday detentions actually beneficial in a students favor rather than an after school detention ? As a student in an high school atmosphere detentions on the weekend would not be beneficial. As a underclassmen and future upperclassmen Saturday detentions would interfere with the social activities outside of school. Furthermore not only would this interfere with the student, this would also cut into the monorators personal time with their families. Another point to follow up in regards to the 7 a.m. detention parents cannot rely on public transportation to pick up their child due to the fact that the SEPTA student transpansses are deactivated over the weekend. However depending on the distance the student has to travel parents rather not gamble with sending their child a wase to serve a Saturday detention knowing their child's safety could be at risk. In addition detentions in general don’t benefit the student at all because students sit in a room on hours end wasting away the day. Were as they could use that time in a constructive scholar like manner and complete assignments for other classes. As an alternative the monorator has the option to let that student complete classwork or complete work that the monorator of the detention has assigned. But the “topic does detention serve a purpose?” Is constantly …show more content…
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
Students are deprived from there leaning do to the tardy policy. A policy that is unfair this tardy policy makes students serve a 30 min detention if there even a second late to class and after multiple absences or tardies you can face legal consequences. There's many reasons why students may be late for example students need to take the city buss, bikes ,cars to school but there's always traffic so sometimes it's not the students fault , students shouldn't be given a 30 minute detention for being a couple of minutes late.
Students around the Nation have always pleaded to have no school on Fridays. In fact, for many schools around the nation, school on Friday has already been abolished. This letter is of regards to those who believe (and have not received) that school on Friday should be terminated! Students who go to school - whether it be elementary, middle, or high school - have always wanted less school. I, along with the rest, do believe that decreasing school days would be very beneficial for students as well as teachers.
Imagine students becoming stressed with the abundant amount of homework they have to accomplish, complaining about the lack of time and fun enjoyable tasks they have to leave out. Currently, District 211 has a five day school week but having a four day school week eradicates these problems, which could have a positive mental and physical effect. Currently, the four day school week is being used in more than 120 school districts across the country, in states including including New Hampshire, Colorado, and New Mexico. Use of the four day school week also extends to several provinces in Canada, France, and Britain. Considering the amount of districts that are executing a four day school week it is most reasonable to assume that they have significant
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).
Some professors in universities and some departments have very tight polices related with attendance. There are many universities and colleges in the world which doesn’t consider regular attendance in their grading part system. Sometime if the professor knows about the excessive number of times the student was absent they will mark the name of student and the final grade of that class is lowered. This topic is an issue of debate all over the world. Some people support this rule while other is against this rule. In this paper, I have presented many arguments in favor of strict attendance policy while some arguments are against the strict attendance policy. Students in college and universities are matured enough to take their own decision (Bastedo,
Meditation detention is a superior method over reflective detention. Though it may seem that meditation detention is a weird punishment, it helps many students function at home and at school. Meditation helps many students cool down, focus, have less stress and depression. Meditation also helps academically, which is good for the students and the teachers.
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)
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”. This is an iconic question asked of us starting at a very young age. Many will respond with ridiculous profession such as president, astronaut, or world-renowned singer. But the one job no one wants is going to jail. Unfortunately for many teenagers, this is already their fate. Teenagers who begin crime at an early age are usually going to continue to end up in jail. This is in some part due to the fact that many juvenile detention centers have inadequate care, whether it be education or how the criminals are treated. Without proper care, these volatile young adults will continue to commit crimes and will never be able to reform into members of society. That is why juvenile detention centers are
First, abolishing the attendance policy could help teach students to be responsible for themselves and learn how to make time for important things. Going to college is the perfect time for students to learn to be adults. Being considered an adult should allow the privilege to make the decision to whether to go to class or not. Also, responsible students are going to try to do w...
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.
Schools should switch methods because it will decrease dropout rates in High school. Students who have been suspended are three times more likely to drop out. Also in a study in texas students that
Schools are so much a part of our society, so the accurate length of school days is extremely important. Public opinions on the length of the school days are different. There are a lot of parents and professors concerned that it is hard for children to go to school early in the morning and stay there the whole day. On the other side, some professors try to force students into a nine hour school day. Not so many years ago, school was a main part of my life, and the school days’ structure and length affected my social life and ability to study. From my own experience and some studies that I have seen, students benefit if school days are long.
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
Students went to school for five days a week. For students earn a spot of weekend school, they will go to school for the whole week. How they earn a spot for the weekend school is simple, like tossing a small piece of trash on the road. When a student either commits a small misbehavior against the school rules or receives a huge zero on different subjects. Then he or she would be the next candidate for the infamous Weekend School program. There are protests between students and teachers but the only victor is the teachers because they are the enforcers, the masters, and the second family of the students. They would be free of the weekend school in exchange if they reflect their action or did improve their studying, and then they can leave the weekend
No Saturday School - No School! & nbsp; & nbsp;   ; Some people think American students should attend school on Saturday. These people think that the extra day would bring America's education level closer to those of other countries. However, I disagree. I think having school on Saturday would actually lower our education level. Saturday classes would diminish family time for students.
