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 do not think that it would show the students that you do not know how to handle them. I do think that sometimes there are other ways to control the situation. However, this seems like some teachers are using it just because a student is being stubborn and that should not be the case.
