What will happen is schools will start instituting "in school suspension" only not calling it "suspension" so they don't have to report it.   In school detention, maybe.  Instead of sending kids home for 3 days, they will send them to the suspension room.  Schools will have to cough up the money to have someone supervise the kids and it will inconvenience parents less (won't have to take time off from work) so the practice probably won't reduce misbehavior much.   But it will allow the schools to state correctly that they are suspending fewer kids of all groups.[/quote]

I seriously doubt any school will return to ISS.

Are you an educator, btw?  If so, I'm surprised that you'd take this route considering there are budgetary constraints.  Babysitting kids in one room who can't behave is a recipe for disaster.[/quote]

I don't think it is the best route but it the route schools will take.   Long term it would be cheaper than actually figuring out ways to prevent the students from having problems to begin with.

I don't think high schools will use this approach but I do think elementary schools will.[/quote]
