Take a careful look at a national and local article below with several important links featured within them also:At the very least, I want to know that adequate school policy is in place, and that school authorities require planned discussions at each local school regarding student discipline policies, followed by careful documentation and analysis of what teachers and students seem to have most difficulty with class and behavior management.Upon a completion of an assessment, plans for improvement must be documented. Teachers and students must be held accountable. If teachers are having difficulty with class management, their skill level will be in need of improvement, and "in service" professional development coaching warranted. If students are "acting out" in class, counseling and, if absolutely necessary, "in school" suspension is preferable to long term "out of school" suspension.
