That'll teach him! Not math and stuff, though.
It's always confused me why schools think suspension would be an effective punishment when the kid often doesn't want to be in class anyway (not in the case of this kid obviously) and definitely won't be learning anything.
It's what you do when you can't deal with a child to prevent them fucking up other people's schooling.
I guess it also puts pressure on the parents to do something.
Except, at least when I was in school, they're not given schoolwork to do when in suspension. They just have to sit there and do nothing all day. They don't learn anything.
When I was in school your teachers would put together work for you to do.
And this student's hair is interfering with other peoples' schooling by....
Well his locks are too long. So it's obviously a security concern since other students could trip over them and fall. /s
Except it's not used like that, it's used to discipline anything they feel is a "big" deal.
Funny story, I got a week suspension in middle school for bringing a low powered laser to school. On the same day friend of mine lit a fire in his desk and got 3 days.
The school admin was pushing for a much worse penalty for me for some reason and my parents flipped their shit and somehow got it "reduced" to a week.
They'd give me ISS or suspend me for...skipping class.
I've never heard the term "in-school suspension". It sounds like what I remember as "detention", but done during what would otherwise be the school day, yeah? On top of this being some blatant racism, it seems like a really poor use of school resources.
They call it 'in school suspension' (ISS) to differentiate from out of school suspension, where the student is sent home and told not to return for a period of time. Typically ISS is overseen by a faculty member and the students are given relevant workbooks/sheets to whatever courses they're enrolled in to complete and they are required to be quiet, work alone, and are not allowed to used phones/entertainment.
At least, that's how it was when I was still in highschool (2014).
ISS is literally just detention. Your put into a classroom where you can't talk to anyone, or do anything besides your work. You even take a separate lunch time then everyone else.
Detention for me was something you did after school. Essentially you were kept late.
In-school suspension is just like detention during school hours.
