School Suspension
Does it really work?
By: Feliscita Elameto

School Suspension has its many advantages and disadvantages. School is supposed to be a harmless environment used for learning about many different subjects, but with fights, drugs, racism, discriminations of such sort, and illegal contrabands being brought into the environment, school hasn’t been so much of a nice place to be in. Therefore, school suspension has been brought into the system.

The advantages of having the right of suspending a student from the campus grounds are that it could teach that student a lesson. It is a lesson that will teach a student to take school seriously without having to deal with such wrong doings. School suspension has an advantage to changing the way a student acts and thinks on the school’s grounds. After the suspension, hopefully the student will start taking school seriously instead of as an opportunity to take it as a joke. Also, having to suspend a student could change how the parent of that student will think. They will start restricting their child from going out and technology uses that could distract them from their studies which will help their child improve their grades.

However, school suspension isn’t always effective. It is almost like giving students a mini vacation. They get in trouble for a short period of time, and after that, everything goes back to the way it was. Students could be suspended for a day or longer and they could also be punished, but it’s a fact that the student comes back to school and does the same thing he/she did. From experience, I think school suspension has a chance of making you change; if you have a brain, you could think twice and you wouldn’t do the same mistake. I’ve learned that being suspended isn’t really a good or bad thing, but I’ll just say that school suspension is also like giving the teacher a break from the troubles you caused.
