  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!)
I have the same situation in my school. Students are just sitting there enjoying themselves when they go to ISS. Perhaps placing certified educators in these positions would curb this behavior. I know that seems like a waste of a teacher, although they still have to learn the material while out of the classroom.
