Can some enlightened soul please explain what a 10 day
suspension really teaches. I graduated from HS in 1985
and even then it was ludicrous.
Lets see if I get this right. I am bad go to
principals office get suspended for a day. Not bad,
stay home while friends at school and I am sitting at
home sleeping late and watching TV enjoying day off.
Parents at work.
Go back to school, get sent to principals office and
proceed to take arm and swipe off principals desk.
Instant 5 day vacation.
Yeah, suspension that will teach 'em. Never did it but
watched kids in neighborhood do it all the time.
