[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house is zoned for the LBSS pyramid and in general I feel like the LBSS and Robinson pyramids are similar.  Any idea why LBSS has over 2x the number of suspensions as Robinson?[/quote]

It is completely dependent on the administrator.  I have worked in schools where everything horseplay in the hallways was a suspension (labeled as "play fighting" which has to be treated as fighting), and others where horseplay was a lunch detention.  The behavior was the same at the different schools.

I'm not sure this list is really all that insightful since it's so subjective in how offenses are handled.[/quote]

So true. I worked at a wealthy FCPS MS and the crap those kids got away with. Not even a write up for things like leaving campus to drink at a friends house. We apparently never had fights either--HAHA. But appearances were really important, so nothing got written up.

At another school, one administrator was write up crazy. Look at him funny and he'd write you up.

Don't think that those numbers are showing you what is really going on [/quote]

There's a fairly strong (negative) correlation between student performance and the suspension rates.  I could see an outlier or two in either direction, but overall you can see where students come to learn and where they are more likely to show up with a different attitude and end up in trouble.
