Reasons why out-of-school suspensions don’t work are fairly obvious. 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.
Summary:
The article deals with suspending students from school and if it makes any difference or not. The author describes how irrelevant it is suspending students who are hostile to school anyways. Treating that period as a free time the students might indulge in other wrong activities. Often schools are short on resources to deal with students with disciplinary issues and eliminate the students for a temporary period rather than eliminating the problem permanently.
