The article discusses the negative implications of out-of-school suspensions in public schools, emphasizing that suspending students often exacerbates behavioral issues rather than mitigating them. Citing the complexities of student behavior, the author argues that many disruptions arise from personal challenges students face. Suspensions disproportionately affect marginalized students and are linked to a legacy of racial injustice, leading to diminished academic success and future opportunities. Furthermore, these practices create unfriendly dynamics between teachers and students and ultimately do not enhance school safety, indicating a need for reform in school disciplinary practices.
Suspending children from school exacerbates their disruptive behavior, fails to improve classroom dynamics, and disproportionately affects marginalized students, linking it to historical oppression.
Out-of-school suspensions fail to solve the underlying issues that lead to disruptive behavior, ultimately harming students' academic performance and future prospects.
