  Case: ISS Ideas
At my school In-School-Suspension (ISS) is thought more of as a reward to students than a punishment. Students just go to this trailer and sit for the school day. During some parts of the day, students in ISS are allowed to wear hats, eat, watch YouTube videos, etc. This is clearly not punishment. One of my students told me Friday that he missed ISS. He said in ISS no one fusses at you when you do not work. In the regular classroom, teachers fuss at students when they do not work. How can teachers change this ISS system? To be clear, I do not write referrals, because clearly it would do nothing but show students I cannot handle students.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My school definitely does not handle ISS this way. ISS is a place for students to work, and I mean work hard. They are sent the day's materials from all of their classes and any work they are missing as well. They are expected to complete it all before going back to class. I would definitely mention to the administration that ISS is not serving it's purpose of changing behavior- instead it is really rewarding students instead. They need to be aware of this perception and work to fix it as a school-wide issue.

Comments: I also have never experienced this type of ISS. From my experience there is no talking, they are required to help hand out food in the lunch line and not permitted to eat with their peers. They are given work from their teachers that should be finished at the end of the day. Not a fun experience. I would talk to administration about what is going on at your school with ISS.

Comments: I agree with this solution. It would be appropriate to involve administration, this way they can reach out to the ISS teacher and address the issue. Students are there for punishment, not free-time, and if this is seen as fun free-time environment the ISS teacher is only promoting students to misbehave in their classes and they need to be held responsible for their actions.
