I think out of school suspension is the dumbest thing dude....well i guess it worked back in the day when there was no television or computer but like come on i have it right now and all i do is sleep all day and watch tv WHAT A PUNISHMENT...anyone else think that school consequences need some adjustment for this time n age

Yes it is... you want the child to suffer but you give them day(s) off? :lol:

We used to have in school suspension.

at my school they don't let you make up any missed assignments and you lose credit. ya i got suspended for a day in seventh grade and my mom told me to read little women until school let out and i read it for about ten minutes and fell asleep for the rest of the day.

i've been there..six times i believe. it's kind of nice.

we have in school suspension too thats for like little stuff i have that tomorrow and i had it last week for something different. the in school teacher is crazy though thats probably y she has to sit and babysit the in school kids cause shes too damn crazy for anything else

We have that. But I never see anyone in it anymore -_-

So did my school, and that's what you got unless you did something really bad.

Our inschool consisted of sitting in a tiny room with no windows in the office. They made you sit in one of those library cubbies (desk with walls), and some scary dude with no neck watched your every move.

I got an out of school suspension once. It was bad, though. My parents did not allow me to do anything. I didn't have any fun and I had to be with my parents when we shopped for furniture on the day I got suspended.

It is pointless unless your family punishes you.

Maybe if more parents would take charge of their kids and not just let them do whatever they want, it would be more of a punishment.

Yeah I had this friend last year who got into a fight two days before Christmas break and they suspended him. :rolleyes: They just gave him an early holiday!!

I guess the only thing about out of school suspension, is the embarassment that comes with it. Your friends go to school and get to socialize, but you have to stay home. (Yeah, you can sleep late, watch Tv, go online, etc.) But when you go back to school and everyone asks you where you were, you might be embarassed telling them you were suspended. Also, think of all the work you missed and how long it will take you to make up... I think the best way to punish someone is detention, either after school or on weekends.

:tiphat:

Yeah thats what ours is. Exept its not in the office. And there isnt a scary guy with no neck :lol:

I got suspended in grade 5 for telling a teacher to "screw off". One day. But, I wasn't aloud to watch t.v., go on the computer for two days. It sucked. I haven't been suspended since (I've got a couple in- school suspensions though). Nothing this year though.

And the reason I got a in- school suspension for two days last year? I read a poem called "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg in front of the class and it has swearing and talk of sex and stuff. They got pretty pissed at that. Something about "**** and balls" offends them.

It's a wonderful poem though. Read it here: http://www.rooknet.com/beatpage/writers/ginsberg.html#howl

I agree, Modfather, it is a great poem. I was reading it late last night, but didn't finish it...I went to bed instead, so I'll probably finish reading it later on. I love that first line, "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical, naked..."

I'm currently reading a biography of Allen Ginsberg by Barry Miles. Have you read this, Modfather? I'm finding it very interesting. Currently in GinsbergLand, the year is 1945, and he's 19, already friends with Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, and all set to meet Neal Cassady in 1946.

I can understand why some people would be offended by some of the language in the poem, but I think it was pretty harsh of you to get an in-school suspension for it. I mean, Allen is now a pretty much respected poet, isn't he?
