A student once asked a dean how being suspended for 5 days was going to help him, The dean told the student that the institution wasn’t designed to help him. Wow, the institution isn’t designed to help students. What?! Why on earth would we have an authorized system in our schools that functions AGAINST the productivity and education of our youth? There must be a better way.

For parents to be parents. Many parents want teachers to raise their children for them and that is wrong.
However, the dean who told the student that the institute was not there to help him is a fool. This is the purpose of a school to help students reach for the stars. I implement that in my classroom and I work with the students outside of the school's time. I care about passing each of my students. Despite, being paid less then a garbage man. It too is a noble profession for it helps to pay the bills and to put food on the table.
If you want to know how school should discipline students. Then they should do manual labor for the school. If they have detention don't just let them sit in the cafeteria for 4 hours. Tell them to go out and clean the floors or paint the fence, or whatever. The students need to learn Newton's law, "For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." If you can't do the crime don't do the time.

In my opinion, it is unfortunate for all involved that the school system isn't really designed to help students on an individual basis; it has to help them as a group. When a child steps outside the group on a disciplinary level, such as being suspended, they are pretty much on their own. Tough lesson. But what got that person suspended for five days! Should he entitled to "help" when it's more than likely he caused quite a bit of trouble and took valuable time away from either or both the class and the teacher not to mention the administrative end? Hopefully the student who asked the dean that question learned something from his useless suspension -- at the very least not to do what got him suspended in the first place. The government has thrown an astounding amount of money at problems in our schools without much luck. I'll look forward to reading some new ideas here.

The dean is right.
His job is to ensure that there is a suitable learning environment for ALL students. If that means he has to remove one which is disrupting that environment, that is what he has to do.
Now, normally the student who earned 5 days suspension would usually have about a month of corporal punishment from his parents, but since that doesn't happen anymore the suspension is worthless.
It comes down to this - school is there for YOU to take advantage. If you fail to do this - then it is your problem - don't even try to blame it on the teachers.

Disciplinary system? There is no disciplinary system! Not any good ones anyway. If there were there wouldn't be such a high turn over rate for teachers. I USED to teach, so I know.
How was the 5 days supposed to help him? It would help him learn that if he does wrong, he has to go. Be it home or jail when he gets a little older.
Personally, if a kid does something an ADULT would go to jail for (i.e. drugs) they should go to jail too, whether they are 12 or 18.
I wish there was a way to help them, but they have to WANT to be helped. Kids these days get stuff handed to them and they don't appreciate it.

My husband had a counselor in high school that told him a school setting wasnt right for him.
The problem is that teachers dont care about students anymore. They are underpaid and not trained to deal with anything other than a perfectly behaved child.

i totally agree they should just give restrictions instead of keeping us from learning. Suspensions are overrated, and it sucks!!
