Should kids be suspended.
Recently people have been questioning the effect of suspension for kids behavior. Some say there are new efficient ways of cleaning up the act of children. Even though suspension can be a big deal to some, suspensions do not work and schools should use the system Restorative Justice because suspension is temporary, the new system is non judgemental and massive reductions on suspension and dropout rates have gone down.
Suspension is only temporary and will not solve anything. In one of the articles it mentions a girl,Cindy, who has been suspended in the past for fighting then got in trouble again for fighting but this time the school used Restorative Justice. Eventually Cindy would have made an enemy with the boys not understanding what they had said and the boys would not know what had caused Cindy to fight.In the article it states that “Rather than solving a problem, everything about the traditional way of handling situations like this one only contributes to the likelihood that it will happen again”. Although suspension removes the student from the situation, this will not solve the problem and most likely worsen it and the students should be talked to and listened to. …show more content…

    What if one student in the fight had a good home life, his parents punished him, and he never got suspended again, but maybe the other student’s parents did not care, he would just simply get some time off of school, and continue to act out. If all students were talked to about what they did wrong and punished inside of school, there may be a chance to drop the percentage of kids that get in trouble. Yes, it may not be the school’s responsibility to punish the kid, but if they do not and neither do the parents, then who will?

Public outrage and media exposure have succeeded in reversing sanctions in cases such as suspensions when a student makes a "finger gun" (some schools interpret any such displays as threats). It 's an uphill battle, though, and the stone rolls down as soon as it reaches the top. A 13-year-old girl received a three-day suspension from a Texas middle school for a finger gun in 2010, making headlines; in December 2012, the hammer of justice came down on a 6-year-old, who received a one-day suspension from a Maryland elementary school for the same reason. That incident made the Washington Post, with over a thousand comments lambasting the school administrators for overreacting; nonetheless, in October of 2013, an 8-year-old was suspended for a day in Florida, also for making a finger
