Out Of School Suspension, By Edgar Ramirez

Schools should leave their old ways and get rid of school suspension because this makes the student feel as though there voice is being heard in the matter. Cindy attends Turner Falls High School , Cindy has gotten herself into trouble because two boys were making racist jokes therefore she felt threatened so she throws two lunch trays at them causing her to be in the restorative justice room.Cindy has the chance to explain her point of view to the teacher without feeling pressured or frightened.One might say that it would be more efficient if

Has your child ever been suspended? Ever been friends with a kid who has been supended? If so you most likely know, it has no good affect. Schools have been suspending students seemingly forever, and it makes sense. It’s simple, cheap, and easy, whereas lunch or after-school detention can be problematic and difficult, and alternative options require money the school simply does not want to spend. Although students will not be able to see their friends everyday, and may feel left out from school activities, suspension is an ineffective punishment because students see it as a vacation, it increases dropout rate, and it makes students more hostile, or problematic.

Ships have been around for centuries and they continue to be made and used today. They come in different shapes and sizes. In the time that ships have been around, they have contributed to economic growth throughout the world. Not only have ships aided with trade and cultural events, but they have also brought more job opportunities for those who needed some extra work or those who couldn't find work back on land.

Studies have also found a correlation between exclusionary discipline and (1) increased school avoidance, (2) decreased academic engagement, (3) an increased rate of dropouts, (4) increased behavioral problems, and (5) increased involvement with the juvenile justice system. School administrators have the right to want to develop a safe climate for their students and teachers and remove threats from their schools. However, serious threats from students are rare. Nearly 60 percent of the suspensions and expulsions administered in HPS in 2009-2010 were administered for school policy violations—a category that includes things like insubordination, profanity, sleeping in class, and truancy—not serious safety concerns like violence against others or weapons.

The school principal is in charge of their students, making sure the rules are followed, and punishments are made if they are broken.

Out of school suspensions (OSS) are often enforced with the assumption that students receiving the suspension are less likely to repeat the problem behavior in the future. However, this has been proven to be false. Suspending a student for engaging in a certain behavior does not in fact serve as a deterrent from the behavior but as a deterrent from attending school instead. In actuality, receiving just a single suspension can increase the probability of a student experiencing academic failure, school dropout, and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Knowing this, some educators still believe that for many students, suspension can serve as an effective lesson. One of the greatest concerns that educators and administrators face is the matter of classroom management. It is part of their job to ensure a safe, productive and supportive classroom allowing students to learn and grow to their greatest potential. Though there are several strategies gauged towards managing a classroom, the most severe offences often lead to either in or out of school suspension. Some of the largest concerns faced with out of school suspensions is that they are often ineptly applied, used unfairly against students of color and seemingly ineffective at producing better behavior. Also known as exclusionary discipline, the majority of offenses that led to OSS have not been centered around violence but instead emphasised issues of classroom insubordination and defiance. In some rather extreme cases

Often times it’s the student’s needs and the school being unable to meet the student’s needs that lead to the student being disciplined. Kids who are behind academically, and unable to perform at the same level as their peers often act out in frustration or humiliation (Noguera, 2003). Once these students are labelled as difficult, incorrigible, and unteachable they tend to believe these things about themselves and act out more in class which leads to a cycle of discipline that can ultimately lead to permanent expulsion. For some of these students, these continued rule violations lead to run-ins with the police and the criminal justice system. School administrators who are at times frustrated themselves from failed attempts to steer children from a “bad path” don’t realize that in throwing their hands up and giving up on these students, are in a way helping shuttle students from school to the penitentiary (Noguera, 2003).

Six and a half billion dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the approximate cost of a border that would stretch from San Diego to Texas. A chain-linked, steel, and barbed-wire border that would block hard work, dreams, and an inevitable fate. Through the brutal deserts, dehydration, and pain, only about a fourth of the immigrants trying to get to America make it. That means so much because of how many people try to accomplish this feat, considering still around nine-hundred thousand immigrants still make it. In all reality, borders are truly just an imaginary line some important people with wigs created. We, as a whole, decide how important things are. Money's just paper, an MLB star is just a normal human. However, something that always gets us, something that is made such a big fuss about, is a two-thousand mile long border, also known as The Mexican-American Border. Think about this. If we have such a powerful military and border patrol, why would we need such an intimidating wall? Or even why do we disown and hate these immigrants? Better yet, why would we spend all this money when we are trillions

After observing an assistant principal at my school, the consequences that were used were policies and procedures that came directly from the student handbook. In this particular incident, a student had accumulated several tardies, as a result; the student had a choice between detention or corporal punishment. In this instance, the student decided to sign up for detention rather than receive corporal punishment. After talking to the assistant principal, he advised me to always follow the consequences that are stated in the student handbook.

Consequences have to be set for those students that get involved in bad behaviors. As leaders this take a lot of creative thinking to where students can really learn from their mistakes, this helps the students make the decision that they don’t want to do them anymore. Constant OSS days doesn’t affect students nowadays, so coming up with a program for the constant offenders to help them get back focused on what is important.

The school employs a number of sanctions to enforce school rules and to ensure a safe and positive learning environment.   We employ each sanction appropriately to each individual situation.

One of the greatest violent and horrifying forms of American history was the establishment of slavery. In 1619 Slavery began in Jamestown, Virginia when the very fewest slaves were brought to America from Africa. African-Americans were known to be very healthy people and in good shape because of their hard work of surviving in Africa. Many Africans had to do work, walk miles everyday to just get water for their families. As the slaves entered America, they were dispersed throughout the colonies. The main source for money and cheap labor in America was the tobacco agriculture. Slaves were put to work in the tobacco fields. This was an unnatural state for the human soul to be in bondage and captivity ever since the beginning of civilization. Patrick Henry stated, “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” Through these centuries the slaves rose up and rebelled.

After watching Legally Blonde, I started to think about how popular that movie is. Sadly, as my friend even mentioned,it is seen a as “classic”. This is when I decided to do my research and found out the cause and effect of the constant target of one group of people. Its called “stereotype priming” or an simplified definition, “self stereotyping”. As said in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, “Stereotype priming can lead to assimilation or contrast effects on behavior.

Student behavior and discipline in the classroom have been impacted by legislation and litigation as was discussed in an article written by Mitchell Yell and Michael Rozalski, The Impact of Legislation and Litigation on Disciple and Student Behavior in the Classroom. The authors believe that all students should receive their education in safe, orderly, and well-disciplined schools but maintaining these environments has become a major challenge for educators (Yell, M & Rozalski, M, 2008). Most states have laws that govern discipline in schools which also protect the rights of students in public education (Yell, et.al, 2008). These state laws control the actions of school officials when they carry out certain discipline-related functions, such as gathering evidence (e.g., searching students, their lockers, or their personal property), seizing contraband from students’ backpacks, or conducting any administrative actions that restrict a student’s property interest to attend school (e.g., suspension, expulsion) (Yell, et.al, 2008). A student’s entitlement under state law to a public education is

Towards the end of my 2015 year I was suspended from school. How being suspended from school effected at my school activities & relationships with others is that I wasn't in able to get the same kind of help that kids in school were able to get because i was home, as well as me not being able to play football for my high school team until I was able to return later that year. When I returned to school it was a shaky start for me because I had to catch up with everything in all of my classes in order to pass. Being raised in a family where failure is not an option I had to take full advantage of extra credit work and after school tutoring which meant I had and sacrifice hanging out with friends and other pleasures to get my grades where they
