  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 think the first step would be to prevent the student from accessing any technology or the internet. This would ensure that they are not accessing YouTube videos (a definite reward). The student can still be allowed to eat but should be expected to complete work that has been sent in from different teachers. The fact that they cannot access the internet and that there is minimal socialization might make the student reflect on their actions that caused them to receive ISS.
