By Nazier McDonald Out of school suspension is more punishing than people know. It can even affect your ability to get into the college of your choice. Students will make mistakes, but they can be taught to learn from them rather than just punishing and repeating a cycle of bad behavior. Students should not receive out of school suspension. Out of school suspension does very little to change a student’s behavior. There are many students that are suspended and they come back and do the exact same thing again to get suspended again. The students receive more of a vacation than help rehabilitating their behavior. In school teachers and counselors can help students overcome their emotional and behavioral issues. Suspended students also get behind in instructional time, which can cause them to become frustrated and act out again. They can also lose hope that they can succeed. In-school suspension makes more sense because it gives students an opportunity to ask teachers for work from their classes so they can complete work and not fall behind in their classes. Did you know a suspension on your student record can even effect the college you get into? Suspensions are stains on a student’s record and they are permanent. The Common App, used by many students to apply for college, specifically asks for your disciplinary history including any suspensions you may have had. You will be given an opportunity to explain them, but you will have to prove yourself and work harder to show that you are a mature and responsible student worthy of their college. Out of school suspensions only hurt students and while they do punish students, they may go a bit far in the punishment. Other forms of discipline should be used instead, which is why East has adopted a restorative approach to help students change their behaviors for the better.
