Students should be suspended, unless the act of encouraging others to do the same. Students who get suspended are most likely staying at home by themselves, the “bad” students might be putting off their work, not doing, or not exacltly foucing on what they had done or their work. Although, suspension used to be a positive practice for children, students are not taking their time to think about what they did wrong, and doing the same thing when they get back to school grounds. Suspension should be used on students who are influencing others to do the same, not the students who misunderstand what elders such as teachers are asking. Students may miss their assignments and not take responsibility for their conduct, work may be done incorrectly, students will have better grades if they don't get suspended, but may have a negative effect on students. Students may miss their assignments and not take responsibility for their actions, and they may also not know how to do the assignment, may be doing incorrectly.Every year, 3.3 million students in the United States are suspended from school, causing them to miss critical learning time, as well as opportunities to grow and succeed .The only time a student should get out of school suspension is when they bring a weapon and them …show more content…
Students need to be separated from the situation so they can take some time and understand what happened and why it happened. If students get suspended from schools then there grades won't be as good, because they won't be able to ask their teachers questions and might not know how to do there work. If students take time off school and figure how and where they went wrong then they can come back to school and get their grades up, because they probably don't want to get suspended again. Whenever ever students don't get suspended they ended up encouraging others and keep making bad grades, so therefore it is a good idea to suspend
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
When students fail to hand in assignments or when a child acts up in class, lots say it both as a way of punishing for bad behavior or as a way to carry out a few extra minutes of learning time in a packed day.
Another major reason why juveniles are ending up in the juvenile justice system is because many schools have incorporate the zero tolerance policy and other extreme school disciplinary rules. In response to violent incidents in schools, such as the Columbine High School massacre, school disciplinary policies have become increasingly grave. These policies have been enacted at the school, district and state levels with the hopes of ensuring the safety of students and educators. These policies all rely on the zero tolerance policy. While it is understandable that protecting children and teachers is a priority, it is not clear that these strict policies are succeeding in improving the safety in schools.
Students are being sent to court for minor offenses. Once they arrive in court, eighty percent of the time, they do not have a lawyer representing them (“What is the School-to-Prison Pipeline?”). Without proper representation, these students are not given a fair trial. Often times, they will end up with fines or prison time because of their lack of an attorney. In addition to court appearances, the average student also faces the possibility of a ticket. “275,000 nontraffic-related Class C misdemeanor tickets were issued to young people in Texas. Many of these were issued by school police officers for disorderly conduct, disruption of class, disruption of transportation, and truancy” (Fowler 17). Ordinary high school students were getting tickets for misbehaving in class instead of being sent to the principal’s office. With these tickets, students could receive up to $500 in fines and community service (Fowler 17). “Youth who are disciplined or court-involved are at increased risk of dropping out and becoming involved in the juvenile justice system” (Fowler 17). These tickets are creating a bigger entrance to the school-to-prison pipeline. Moreover, average students are also getting suspended for minor offenses. A fifth grader was suspended for using his hands to make a gun gesture. The principal called it a “level 2 lookalike

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
Schools have had a difficult time trying to balance the best interest of the whole school body. When this policy was put into place they had good intentions. But soon problems were caused. Where they supposed to punish the kids just defending themselves from bullies? Or only punish the one who started it and make it seem like they are taking sides. For example in Delaware a 6 year old boy took a camping utensil which can be used as a knife, fork and spoon to school. Naturally
The answer, it turns out, is yes.” This experiment should be enforced into all districts around america. “...nearly 3.5 million students in kindergarten through high school - was suspended at least once in the 2011-12 academic year…”. Most of the these suspensions have been for some type of confrontation or mix up. “African-American students are hit hardest.
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 Does Suspending Students Work? By Christopher J. Ferguson it talks about how it does and does not work. I agree with the side of it does not work. I simply agree with this because if you get suspended you miss a lot of class time, no one at home will teach you how to act better since parents are at work and it states this might lead up to legal problems as adults.
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.
Why suspend students, when there is a new way that works out the problem and doesn't get rid of it? School dropouts are becoming more profound across the nation, so what reason is there to continue using such a practice? Also, The efficiency is almost at the bottom for school suspensions, so why is it still in play when it isn't effective? Suspensions, the most popular way of punishment at school. But with it hurting more students than helping, it is time to find another solution.
Although, when a school suspends a student for a certain amount of days depending on the problem, it is mostly for miss behavior. The students might not take as them getting in trouble but, they might take saying they have a few days to sleep in like a vacation. Students have work to do while they are suspended but, since most kids parents have jobs they are gone most of the day, and the child can get in trouble for not doing their work or going places they shouldn’t be. Having this happen can lead to bad things. Even though schools should be disciplining the students, they should not suspended students because, the students may not learn their lessons at home they may need to be put in detention for awhile so they know not to do it again because, They will learn their lesson better at school, Have better grades, Also the student won’t be unattended at any time in detention.
Likewise, the student will also lose the opportunity to see the demonstrations and performances of the teacher and fellow students. Worse, truant students are prone to get involved with gangs, street crimes, and illegal trades. Juvenile delinquency, as much as possible, should be prevented. School authorities and parents should be notified immediately if the student failed to come to school. A phone call home or office of the parent should be done as soon as possible.
