When I was growing up, you were punished in school by being forced to stay and clean up the school. You didn't go home until you were done, or it got too dark to see.

I think it goes on their permanent record, so colleges will see it and the student will look less attractive.

Well yeah, but since when does a kid nowadays care about that?

Lol there are still gunners out there who want to make something of themselves, instead of buying Starbucks and texting for the rest of their days.

But since when do those kids get suspensions? Most of them don't, and those that do dont get them that often.

That's the point. The gunners care about school, so they don't get suspended. So suspension is still a punishment to some even if it is not to others.

To keep them there however, is a punishment to those who want to learn and have a "normal" life in the school.

Not really a touche... I don't put that out there for that reason, but the fact that we can't discipline douchebag "school attendees" and can't send them home either are why so many students do not get a proper education.

Technical answer: That is a tradition that started centuries ago as a punishment for kids who WANTED to be in school. Most kids, if they had the option, was manual labor all day, or go to school. Being suspended was a true punishment (sometimes). Now, the justification is that if the kid is sent home, then the parents must watch them, but this is with the assumption that parents want to, or even would (or even have to). But when you have a system that works for the industrial revolution, but still profits old money, you have a failed system. The answer: follow the money.

It isn't really. It is more of a message to the student and to the parents. It is like a 3 stage disciplinary process for work. 1. Verbal warning, 2. Written warning on file, 3. Fired. For School. 1.Sent to Principal, 2.Suspension, 3.Expulsion.

Sadly, it seems like the message never gets through to either...

Yes. It only works on the kids who care about school in the first place. Most who get put on suspensions do not.
