    In reply to @naghma_khn
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:41 PM EST
    A1: Suspension removes the problem from the school. Perhaps gives thinking time for both parties - rarely resolves issues. #INZPirED
  • DrHarrisonMcCoy Nov 25 @ 9:41 PM EST
    Very true! #INZpirED
    In reply to @naghma_khn
  • JKatzaman Nov 25 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A1 Depending on the person, suspension might be just a vacation. The "punished" person returns refreshed to continue. #INZPirED

    Exactly. How do we expect a child asked to go back home, to return and start behaving decently #INZpirED @bakshiaarti

    In reply to @PranSang
  • sansanananana - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A1 personally I don't think there's any educational value to suspension as it's not a corrective measure in any sense. #inzpired
  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:44 PM EST
    Continue the same behavior with much more intensity #INZpirED

    If suspension corrected behavior, PK students would be perfect, right? https://t.co/hlzCvVeqUV #inzpired
    In reply to @naghma_khn, @KSThakral
  • vmatt93 Nov 25 @ 9:45 PM EST
    I believe suspension is a simple temporary solution with no lasting results. There are better ways to handle a situation. #EDCI365 #INZpirED
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:45 PM EST
    True say. Often 'experts' use suspension as a holiday from school #INZPirED

    In reply to @naghma_khn
  • Sanjuhimachali Nov 25 @ 9:47 PM EST
    A1 Certainly not. The suspension gives the other person time to become more vigor. #INZpirED
  • DrHarrisonMcCoy Nov 25 @ 9:47 PM EST
    We work hard at alternatives. No suspensions in 2 1/2 years on my campus. #INZpirED

    Suspension is a management tool for schools. It used to work due to social stigma but is of no value today #INZPirED

    While suspension may have its place, many Ss think it's a free day. #INZpirED

    That's exciting Sunny - what's your role there? R u missing Nepal? #INZpirED https://t.co/exVeZztPLz

    And many little ones have no idea when they're being good. They need a better reference point. #INZpirED

  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:48 PM EST
    Q2.What are the alternatives to suspension? Do students see these alternatives as soft approach #inzpired
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:48 PM EST
    Agree. plus what message are we sending children. Get rid of your problems rather than deal with them #INZPirED
    In reply to @vmatt93
  • sansanananana - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:49 PM EST
    yes! And same is with detention for younger Ss. Everyone seems to be switching over to mindfulness now #INZPirED
    In reply to @mrterborg, @naghma_khn
  • Sanjuhimachali Nov 25 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A1 Suspension is a temporary solution for a permanent solution. Behavior corrections cannot be addressed through suspension. #INZpirED
  • mrterborg Nov 25 @ 9:49 PM EST
    I mostly agree. I can think of a few instances where I might use it. Thinking violence, or other egregious #inzpired
    In reply to @KSThakral, @naghma_khn
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:50 PM EST
    Head of Ed. Tech - kind of similar role but on a bigger scale in a different context & yes :) #INZPirED
    In reply to @nzvh
  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:50 PM EST
    And better interpretation too. #INZpirED
    In reply to @mrterborg
  • sansanananana - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A2 in our primary school we have recently started mindfulness sessions with late comers in the mornings. Seems 2 b working fine #INZpirED
  • JKatzaman Nov 25 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A2 Punishment is best done with culprit in school, tailored to deprive offender of something of value to discourage repetition. #INZPirED
  • PranSang Nov 25 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A2: could counselling by school psychiatrist or counsellor help instead of expulsion?Or give them responsible role in sum activity #INZPirED
  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:52 PM EST
    That is why it needs to be a well thought and structured process. Are we sending them back to become worse #INZpirED
    In reply to @mrterborg
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:52 PM EST
    Wouldn’t even use it in violent cases. The student is free to do as they please out of school. #INZPirED
    In reply to @mrterborg, @naghma_khn
  • rinikaran Nov 25 @ 9:52 PM EST
    Good morning/evening #INZpirED Finding alt ways & addressing the root cause of disruptive behaviour leading to suspension is very imp.
  • SandyPinedaGSU Nov 25 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A1: I feel like suspension does not have many positive results. Perhaps better methods can be implemented. #INZpirED
  • KSThakral - Moderator Nov 25 @ 9:53 PM EST
    haha. Come in early next time :) #INZPirED
    In reply to @sansanananana, @naghma_khn

    In reply to @DrHarrisonMcCoy, @vmatt93
  • mrterborg Nov 25 @ 9:53 PM EST
    I'm not saying I'd do an out of school suspension but other students need to be safe too. #INZpirED Open to ideas.
    In reply to @KSThakral, @naghma_khn
  • PranSang Nov 25 @ 9:53 PM EST
    true it would just move the problem with the child to another school instead we should fix the problem w/the child #INZPirED

    We have PB4L in NZ schools #INZpirED restorative practice grounded in beliefs about equality, dignity, mana& the potential of all people.

    But what happens when it is an in school thing? #INZpirED
    In reply to @KSThakral, @mrterborg
  • mrterborg Nov 25 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Depends on school. Have seen them in office/library, etc. Isolated from rest of students. #inzpired
    In reply to @naghma_khn, @KSThakral
  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:55 PM EST
    There need to be various agents involved. needs to be a holistic approach #INZpirED

  • mrterborg Nov 25 @ 9:56 PM EST
    May be true. That's a different conversation. need counseling, etc. #INZpirED
    In reply to @bakshiaarti, @KSThakral, @naghma_khn
  • PranSang Nov 25 @ 9:56 PM EST
    yes& work w/ the child to tackle the reason for irrational behaviour over a few months rather than capital punishment #INZPirED

    In reply to @mrterborg, @naghma_khn
  • Sanjuhimachali Nov 25 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A2 Behaviour Coaching is an awesome tool to correct a behaviour. #INZpirED . Punishment, as soft as, suspension...doesn't give results.

  • SandyPinedaGSU Nov 25 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A2: An alternative to suspension can be in-school suspension. EX: skill-building related to the student's behavior problem. #INZPirED
  • NigamKriti Nov 25 @ 9:57 PM EST
    #INZpirED sometimes...but there is an unconscious realization that this is a reaching out to their need .. something that helps
    In reply to @naghma_khn
  • vmatt93 Nov 25 @ 9:57 PM EST
    That's exactly why we need to stop avoiding bad behavior! It needs to be confronted and dealt with at the school. #INZpirED
    In reply to @KSThakral
  • naghma_khn Nov 25 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A very integral question. How do we deal with the safety of others and their sufferings? #INZpirED

    A2 For older students community service is a superb alternative to suspension. Not very prevelant in our part of the world. #INZpirED

    Welcome to #INZPirED yes - counselling seems to be a key theme along with safe zones for children. Get them to write perhaps

      You know, it's a lot about parent support and building relationships with the Ss to avoid the big issues. #INZpirED
