The Biden administration is picking up where the Obama administration left off in trying to dictate to local school districts how they should best discipline students.
Their justification for acting as national school principal is based on the claim that suspending students harms them by excluding them from the learning environment and by stigmatizing them as troublemakers.
They observe that students who are suspended tend to have worse outcomes later on, including lower test scores, greater likelihood of dropping out, and eventually, a higher rate of committing crimes.
But that observation may confuse what’s causing what.

No, the lack of fathers does.
It’s more a question of chicken salad and chicken sh?t, haves and haves nots, the old apple and the tree connection.
What came first the chicken or the egg? Can’t escape fate.?
No.
But not punishing bullies OR punishing the victim for being bullied does.
Nonsense “zero tolerance” rules do.
Keeping teachers who instill propaganda instead of knowledge, lies instead of facts does.
If they do then they should.
another way to view it is that single mothers do.
because they are the ones who decide if dad stays around or not
and they’re the ones who decide what guy sleeps with them
The parents of these children need to take a firmer hand in socializing said children. Indeed, what we need is a broader adoption of the concept of a grade of B being considered equivalent to the “Asian F’ by the parents. Oh, right, that’s racist...
I got suspended for 2 days, senior year. I was already admitted to university so it didn’t matter much to me. I punched a guy in the face, Joe Biden style, behind the gym. Left jab. He deserved it. Some faculty witnessed it and sent us to the office. But sitting in the vice principal’s office they asked the guy if he wanted to press charges. He didn’t but I suppose in that respect, school suspension does potentially lead to jail time.
Speaking as someone who taught in city schools for decades:
If you suspend a disruptive kid, he’s out of the class. So he can’t learn. But if you don’t suspend him, he stays in the class. Then nobody learns.
It really is that simple.
There is no school-to-prison pipeline. There is, however, a dysfunctional-home-to-prison pipeline
I got suspended once every year. My dad used me as slave labor, moving his wood piles down in the cellar.
Speaking as someone who taught in city schools for decades...
People who haven’t taught have no idea the impact that disruptive students have on a class. One is a bother, but can usually be managed by a teacher if he devotes maybe a quarter of his time dealing with him.
But two or even worse, three or four, completely change the classroom atmosphere from one of teaching and learning to just hoping to keep the chaos under control. Only the mentally/emotionally strongest students have a chance of learning in such an environment.
The days when he or she is absent,—sick, suspended, ditching—it doesn’t matter, the class becomes teachable for a short while.
I have known potentially fine teachers leave the profession because they had the bad luck of drawing crappy classes their first two or three years in the job.
The disputers suck up all of your attention and time and it’s not really fair to the kids who want to or could learn in their absence.
Didn’t they used to funnel them to the Maines?
I know the Marines don’t want idiots. Not sure where to send them.
Maybe they should stop doing things that get them suspended.
Maybe those tendencies are what lead to the suspensions.
don’t suspend them to home. Suspend them to the auditorium or another secluded area which is staffed with a psychiatric counselor. There they can stay, supervised and ostracized. Suspending them to home, especially if both parents are working, is just another holiday.
Yes, and general lack of discipline. No consequences drives escalating delinquency to criminality.
No. Next question.
