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!) This same thing happened at my school. We had a teacher bring this issue up the principal because we had students asking to go to ISS. The principal seemed unaware of the issue and quickly changed out the ISS teacher. This might need to be done at your school as well. When a student is wanting to report to ISS you know it is not longer a punishment but a reward for bad behavior.
