  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!)
Create a busy work assignment the students will not like doing while they are in ISS.

Comments: I would not use this solution. Students should be assigned meaningful assignments that will help them learn material, even in ISS.
