  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!)
My school utilizes something called lunch detention. In order for students to finish uncompleted work or who act out are forced to eat lunch in the classroom and do work while eating. It is seen as a consequence of taking something away from the student they enjoy (socializing with friends/free time).

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes

The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: I think this is a good solution. Having the students still do work while in ISS would make it feel like the punishment it is since they would be doing it all on their own and not have the same instruction as their peers.
