re: #193 Obdicut

Suspension has always been the stupidest idea for punishment of students ever.

You take a kid who’s acting like he doesn’t want to be in class, and you eject him from the class. Great. That’ll help.

The only possible benefit is making it easier for other kids to learn without the disruption, but that’s definitely the booby prize, and just gives up on actually reforming the troublemaker.

Our system has an ‘alternative school’ for suspendees. Not so ironically, it’s one of the surviving black school buildings from before integration.
