Is suspension from school an effective mode of discipline?
Efficacy is not the question some times it is strictly about SAFETY.
I have taught in many settings where a disruptive student is a challenge, but in several locations it was not the disruptive students that unnerved me it was the unstable and dangerous student that currently due to funding in most of my schools I have taught are still in the classroom frequently unassisted. So when you lumped the disruptive with the dangerous it is not reasonable to make a Yes No choice.
Yes. Misbehaving or DANGEROUS students disrupt other students’ learning and threaten their SAFETY. They should be prohibited from being on school grounds until they can behave appropriately.
Student Safety is our first concern no one can teach in an unsafe environ.
Education and the exceptional child
