Does Suspencion Actually Help Students? Is dropout rates affected by suspension? Why do students not learn from suspension? How does this benefit the school? The act of suspending students has ben used for a long ongoing time now to try to “help” students after they they have done something wrong or that is against the rules. Although suspending students sometimes does work, schools should use alternative methods because students are less likely to drop out, you can better teach students how to act, and because suspension doesn't help the school. 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

    This is a problem itself. If students misbehave in class anyways, and are forced to do more work, the impacts of detention weaken and soon become meaningless to the students. Students may rebel and this leads to low production. However, if meaningful tasks such as cleaning the classroom, are given to students with behavior issues, this can make them feel important. One example of a non-academic punishment would be to ask the students to work alongside

    Is suspension or ejection excessively great? Numerous vibe these disciplines are excessively cruel and negative, making it impossible to an understudy 's future. The understudy pioneer of Generation Y remarks on the impacts of suspension and ejection, "You don 't learn. You fall behind. You get a negative state of mind about school" (Della Piana, Gordon, Keleher 2001). It is unexpected that educators could be harming the fate of their understudies when offering them some assistance with being their actual objective. This is the reason so much thought goes into discipline strategies.

One of the main right that gets taken away or limited is students’ first amendment rights, which is the freedom of expression.

    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.

  • The Negatives Of Zero Tolerance In Schools

    912 Words  | 2 Pages

    The argument in favor only discusses the results within the school community, however, the problem lies also in the community the students live in, both their school and community environments have a great impact on their lives. While it would be better to have both environments working to produce the best individuals; even if the students home communities are not ideal today, these individuals are the future of the community and they are able to reform it. In the argument opposing zero tolerance it is stated that the crime increased within the communities neighboring the schools. I believe that suspension, expulsion, or reporting a minor student to the authority is a cheap way out and reflects poorly on the school and its faculty. No effort is being made to encourage good behavior and rectify bad behavior; that doesn’t happen with kicking students out of school or handing them over to the authorities. Difficult students should be viewed as the most valuable students, a great effort should be made, to include them within the school and to increase their GPA. A lot of times when young people see that an interest in made in them, their wellbeing, their future, and their education, it causes them to care, they begin to believe in themselves and they begin to work towards proving to

At my school kids that play sports must not be failing two classes or they can’t participated in athletics that week. If a child is doing well in school they are less likely to drop out of school. An online article stated, “High school dropouts commit about 75 percent of crimes in the U.S” (Krache).

  • How Does Race Affect Student Behavior In The Classroom

    478 Words  | 1 Pages

    I do not believe is right to suspend a student based on race and just because the student acts out is not because they are future criminals. A student usually acts out because they lack attention at home and are seeking attention from an adult. I believe is better to help the child early in age instead later in their life when they start hanging out with the wrong crowd. Another type of student who will act out in a classroom setting would be a student with disabilities because they feel so out of place. As educators we can change the outcome of a student success in their education. The first thing to do would be to stop stereotyping a student by their race. A student success in a classroom setting should not be determine by their race. If a student acts out we should discipline the child the correct way by having small punishments. Suspending the child would only put them behind and they would not learn anything from it. Having the child stay after class and help those with their homework would feel more of a punishment than staying at home. If a child stays at home from suspension than they would feel like it’s a reward because they can’t stand school at a young

  • Zero Tolerance Policy

    Martinez previously worked in schools as a special education teacher and is currently doing research about the school wide PBS. With this extensive research, she has been able to evaluate the effectiveness of zero tolerance policies in school and whether they have proven effective. Martinez discusses the many unintended side effects of the zero tolerance policy. School administrators have overused the policy as a way to avoid dealing with students who have behavioral problems. By using the zero tolerance policy, administrators automatically have a consequence of either suspension or expulsion set in place, no matter how severe the behavior is. This prevents administrators from dealing with the problem in school; it just gets rid of the student who has misbehaved. Martinez also brings up another good point about how schools have been using zero tolerance policies as an excuse for a high rise in suspensions. Yes, there should be a small rise in the number of suspensions or expulsions in the beginning, but overtime there should be a decrease. A decrease would prove that students are responding to the policy, and the policy is being effective in its main goal: decrease the amount of students who are breaking the rules. Martinez also provides alternatives to zero

  • Criticism Of Zero Tolerance Policies

    410 Words  | 1 Pages

    A criticism of zero tolerance policies is that they disproportionately impact students of color. When school suspension and expulsion rates represent minority students at higher rates than their white, non-Hispanic, counterparts, a racial disparity exists. For example, suspending 1.2 million black students from K-12 nationally during 2011-2012, yet more than half of occurring within 13 states in the South. Likewise, expelling 50 percent of black students enrolled in those states, that same year [citation]. Nonetheless, years of racial segregation, discrimination and the overall mistreatment of minorities in the public, however, have influenced this disparity trend. Although representing 18 percent of enrolled students in school, black students accounted for 35 percent of those suspended once, 46 percent of those suspended more than once and 39 percent of all expulsions nationally, during 2009-2010 [citation].

  • Dropping Out Of School Essay

    Another major reason that students responded is that they had too much freedom and not enough rules. In other words, they feel that they were able to do whatever they wanted. Therefore, they missed class whenever they pleased because they taught it was not important and that nobody would care. Teachers and school administrators need to be strict regarding to attendance. Students need to see that it is really important to attend school everyday so that they attend in a regular basis. The last major reason that students drop out school is that they fail in school and they give up. According to the report, students said that no one would help them when they were having trouble with something. They did not get any support from most of their teachers so they give up and drop out of school. I think that students who are failing a class are the ones that need more support since they tend to frustrate when they do not understand something. Tutoring sessions and help from the teacher it is very important to help students who are struggling with the material. In this way, students will find the material a little bit
