The following discussion of practice and policy related issues found within the article puritan to a “qualitative” study “conducted in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area from September 2009 to May 2012” (Gibson & Haight, 2013, p.264). The main objective of the study was to evaluate the “culturally nuanced” definitions and perceptions on out-of-school suspensions; In hopes of discovering new ways in which “schools and families can work together to decrease racial disparities in out-of-school suspensions” (Gibson & Haight, 2013, p. 263). Thirty participants were interviewed within their own homes through “in-depth, individual, and audiotaped interviews.” (Gibson & Haight, 2013, p. 263). In reviewing the study interviews, a few practice-related issues were discussed, concerning educators lack of understanding of cultural diversity among their students, as well as school personnel 's failure to fully listen to each individual 's concerns when addressing discipline issues.

I’d like to schedule a meeting as soon as possible with you and the above copied regarding my son Mason’s suspension which I feel is completely unjust. Mason is being wrongfully accused of actions which are completely based on opinions due to questions to a teacher. Understanding we are in a different type of world today, kids are still kids and will continue to joke amongst themselves. Many many other children have done worst actions in Indian Mills Memorial school and have not had this type of punishment or marking. Frankly it is impossible to “hack” a Facebook and other social media especially for a thirteen year old. The multimillion companies do not make that so easy especially for children. When he asked

For some reason, teachers had given up on these kids. Though it may not be true, some of the students that I talked to even said they felt that the teachers were “out to get them.” Though it is easy as a pre-service teacher with lots of hope to believe that a teacher would never purposefully want to disadvantage a student, I noticed that Kip was having problems with teachers taking him seriously when he said that he wanted to do anything to bring his grade up. I also noticed that he was constantly getting in trouble with problems that he really had no control over, like being late because his bus did not get in on time. Whereas students who did not have his background may have gotten the teacher’s benefit of the doubt, Kip automatically got written up. With a student who had already been expelled, any referral like this can mean punishment, and it can also cause harm psychologically, reinforcing this image that he is messed up in some unredeemable

This paper is an overview of mental health professional with several years’ experience to be a consultant to a local district superintendent. Based on information gather from a phone call from the superintendent regarding three students and a teacher that was severely stabbed by a student. This has been in the media for about two weeks. During this time, the superintendent has been receiving complaints from people in the community, parents and teacher stating that security measures are not adequate and that discipline for the student are lax. My responsibility as a MHP consultant is to develop a plan of action, intervention and my recommendation to the superintendent. To help improve communication within the community about the school, student, teachers and administrate staffs.

The report “State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Reports Significant Drops in Suspensions and Expulsions for Second Year in a Row” from the California Department of Education (2015) explains, “Willful defiance became identified with the problem of high rates of expulsions and suspensions after the CDE reported a high number of minority students were suspended for this cause. Those figures helped spur the passage of Assembly Bill 420, supported by the CDE and sponsored by former Assembly member Roger Dickinson. The bill, signed into law last year, limits suspensions and expulsions for disruptive behavior in certain grades.” As California schools work toward meeting the goals of AB 420, they are implementing systems such as positive behavior intervention supports (PBIS) and restorative justice practices. My district is using local control funding formula (LCFF) to decrease suspension rates. Goal One Action D of the San Diego County Office of Education LCFF aims to “Continue to provide and monitor initial implementation of professional learning for staff on PBIS, trauma informed care and Restorative Justice” (SDCOE). My site was an early adopter of PBIS and is currently working with a coach to integrate restorative justice practices into our interventions. Instead of simply following California law on student discipline, we focus on teaching our students how to behave. In order for this to succeed, teachers and students need to work together to learn how to create a positive learning community.

At County High School, we are starting to see an alarming trend that is starting to affect the success of our student’s academic achievement, a decline in moral character. In high school, we are so worried about what a student knows on a standardized state test that we forget to teach them how to be a well-rounded person. Theodore Roosevelt once said, “To educate a person in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.” (Lickona, 1991, p. 4) The school has seen a 30% increase in discipline referrals about cheating, disrespect, and inappropriate behavior over the last five years. “Behaviors such as lying, stealing, not performing well in school, skipping class, or exhibiting general
