Suspension Should Not Be Discipline Measure In Primary Schools

Suspension should not be disciplinary measure in primary schools.
Teachers need an alternative for disciplinary measures in primary schools. Students in primary schools all over the world are getting suspended as a discipline for non-disciplinary reasons. These reasons for suspension can explain a lack of understanding future work and assignments because students and parents are not able to control the amount they get done at home. Teachers and students have noticed that suspension gives students a break from school rather than displaying the difficulty of working outside of the classroom (Ferguson, C 2012). Over the past five years in NSW, 35 percent of primary school students have been sent home for misbehaving. From this, 12,922 students were sent home for longer than 4 days at a time (Department, E 2017,). A principal from one of many NSW schools stated …show more content…

Students don’t use their time outside of class correctly due to parents not being there to contribute to the students out of school activities. Students will struggle to concentrate in school once coming back from suspension because they have missed out on class activities and also haven’t been able to participate in group tasks that might help them focus and contribute to their grade. Parents also need to contribute to the discipline, but cannot because of them working and also not being able to help the student with the work and understanding of the discipline. Suspending a student should not be a disciplinary measure in primary schools because it can affect their school work, by not giving them the support they need to continue on working in a school class environment as home life and doesn’t help their parents with communicating to their child about the incorrect behaviours due to parents not being able to help support their

The subjects were not chosen based off any specific criteria other than the fact that they attend the public school system within the United States (p. 53). The study was carried out through analyzing public records data, such as the U.S. Department of Education for Civil Rights, in order to determine the number of students suspended within a time period, within what grades were they suspended in, and the reason for their suspension (p. 53-54).

Schools and the NEA took many different approaches to put an end to these needless practices by ordering school districts to respond to student misbehavior in fair, non-discriminatory, and effective ways. NEA leaders started to raise awareness of the issue, shape district and state policies, and provide resources on restorative practices. In 2014 an education association worked on creating a new student code of conduct that minimizes suspensions and allows students to learn from their mistakes.

    Although when giving students suspension it does give them time to reflect, school suspension is not a good punishment because, when students are taken out of school for a couple of days they miss assignments and do not take responsibility for their conduct, when students go to in-school suspension they do not receive the day’s class work, work is completed incorrectly, and/or students use time to sleep, and all in all, the students do not get the correct help they need to overcome the problem whereas if the student was treated with a system called restorative justice, the student could learn to not go through the same situation. When students are taken out of school for a couple of days they miss assignments and do not take responsibility for their conduct. Think of this for example, Thomas is suspended and taken out of school for a couple of days,

    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? Giving out school suspensions may give the student that needs to be punished the most, time off from school, which is what they would prefer. It is time schools take more part in consequences with

    This isn 't the first time that "bureaucratic determinism," where administrators declare themselves powerless to exert discretion and end up punishing students for infractions that even they agree didn 't contain any elements of threat or aggression, has triggered calls for a more lenient approach. 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

There are obviously those who feel that the policies do exactly what they say they do; advocates for zero-tolerance policies
