  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!)
The last school I was at we saw this as an issue as well. So, in an effort to help, then, I suggested "in team" ISS. This means that each teacher has a rotational schedule for students on that team to serve ISS in their room - permitting numbers aren't too high. Students are isolated from the general population, do not interact with peers, do not eat in the cafeteria and do not change classes. They also complete a character essay that must be signed by all teachers and a parent. The student must also create and have approved a behavior plan before exiting. This helped keep discipline referrals down as students absolutely hated their peers seeing them in trouble.

Comments: I think this is a good solution, making sure ISS is place where students can learn from their mistakes and not want to go back is important. I would try this solution.
