[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD state policies punish schools if suspension is too often.  It’s even part of the MD school report card.  [b]Besides most kids don’t even consider it a punishment since they can just stay home and play video games or continue the drama on their phones.[/b]

We can send kids home who wander the halls skipping class. The state counts that as a suspension.[/quote]

I agree that md state ties MCPS hands about suspension, and while it's true that to some kids suspension is as bolded above, I'd say suspension is still effective since it gives the students in school a break as well as sending a message to those other students that these behaviors are taken seriously. That deters students who have parents that would care. Also after a suspension, it's supposed to be that parents have to meet with admin for a meeting before the student can return -- that part is not always done but I think it is essential. The parents need to be inconvenienced so they will help to deter their child from the behavior. [/quote]
