• Does Suspending Students from School Work? | TIME.com

  • Giving students what amounts to a free day or two off doesn’t actually feel like punishment for most kids, especially those who may already be hostile towards school to begin with
  • the student then misses school work, his or her grades will decline, further increasing the student’s detachment from the academic environment
  • ome schools have implemented either in-school suspension or Saturday suspension (effectively a Saturday detention) so that students are not rewarded by being excused from school and won’t miss out on schoolwork.
  • it’s understandably tempting to want to eject some students to preserve the educational opportunities for others.
  • Academic failure is a significant predictor of later occupational and legal problems as an adult.
