Suspension solves nothing.  The kid sits home and plays video games or stares at their phone.  That is deemed cool.  Parent goes to work, parent doesn't have a consequence.

There is NOTHING cool about your mom, dad, guardian, or grandparent having to lose work for half a day or more to come babysit you in school.  It is humiliating to both of them and I guarantee the behavior would stop VERY quick.  The kid would be mortified and the parent could lose a job over it.  And maybe for the kids it happens to, it wakes the parents up that they need to own their child's poor behavior in school.  If they waste the teachers and other student's time - your time as a parent will be wasted too.  [/quote]

When I got in trouble at school, my parents were called in during the day. They met with each of my teachers. If they didn't come or things didn't improve, the school would escalate to possibly sending me to the remedial school. Is that not done anymore?[/quote]

Yeah I don't think they can do it anymore due to capacity issues, there's LOTS of kids in trouble and no place where they all could go..[/quote]

It's also considered raciat these days. [/quote]
