Re: In School Suspension Programs
Posted by C Stepp on 1/20/07

    I believe that ISS should be a learning process for the student. Most
    ISS policies only "babysit" the student, they do nothing to help curve
    future occurances of innappropriate behavior. Students that I have been
    in contact with prefer ISS over being in the classroom with the "fussing
    teacher". They sit, do their work, and have virtually no timelines or
    guidance. This is really a downfall for everyone involved: teachers,
    students and the troubled child.
