• Realities of school discipline

  Realities of school discipline

  April Hoogasian (letter March 16) and Alison Grady (letter March 21) need to come to my classroom and show me how to discipline unruly children.

  Suspensions and expulsions are the last resort after all other discipline methods have been tried to help students cooperate in class. They disrupt the learning environment for the ones who want to learn. How would you handle a student who swears or talks back at you often, refuses to open a book and talks to other students while you are teaching?

  Suspensions and expulsions often are the result of poor parenting. When a child is suspended, they go shopping with their parent (and show us their new clothes or shoes upon returning), play video games, sleep until school is out and then go to their friends' houses until all hours of the night.
