    A new policy is needed and most certainly should start out with holding schools to handle their own discipline situations, rather than relying on school security and police (Wilson, 2014). School administrators must be able to differentiate between what is a true discipline situation and when a student simply made a mistake. The rate of school suspensions have skyrocketed over the last thirty years from 1.7 million nationwide to 3.1 million and growing today (ACLU, n.d.). Each school needs to create policies of when to get school security involved and what the school’s security job involves. Unless there is a true threat to the safety of the school and/or its student’s law enforcement should never be called (Wison, 2014). The instinct to dial 911 at every infraction has to stop. Furthermore the schools must develop a gender and racial fairness; black children should not be receiving harsher punishments for similar infractions of white students (Wilson,

    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.

    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.

    Could you conceptualize how much mental damage is done to the elementary school student? Children are beginning to learn the concepts of all the rules and distinguishing what is appropriate and what is not, yet there are policies set up to where the child has no room for mistakes and to learn from them. There are various ways of disciplining a child that does not involve suspension nor does it involve arresting them. Students are being mentally and emotionally impaired by the school-to-prison pipeline. With all that has been said, this is only the beginning of the long list of problems with the zero-tolerance policy. How early this trend of “suspensions” begin could also affect students. According to an article, nearly 48 percent of African American children are suspended more than once while in preschool (justicepolicy.org). Suspension in preschool for one should not even be a part of their disciplinary action. Secondly, America has totally diminished the whole purpose of the

    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

    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)

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
