Too many kindergartners are getting suspended, and the President wants to find a way to keep them in school. Is kindergarten too young to suspend students?

    The National Association of School Psychologists describes zero tolerance policies as school enforced polices that mandate harsh predetermined punishments; typically involving suspension or expulsion. These polices can be implemented for a wide variety of reasons, but were commonly regarded as a solution to school bullying. Critics and scientific researchers often advice against using these polices, which have been shown to have an adverse effect on students of urban backgrounds. Out-of-school suspensions are statistically proven to deter students from receiving a high school diploma; specifically among minority males. Students who do face suspension and expulsion due to zero tolerance policies are at-risk of being caught in the “school-to-prison pipeline”.…

Due to changes in the school policy schools across the United States is more likely to push our students from the school system into the criminal justice system. Majority of the schools have law enforcement officers inside the buildings and a strong zero-tolerance policy that treats all behavior the same no matter what the offense is.

    However, removing the student is a simple alternative rather than dealing with the student and helping them learn from their mistakes. Based on the text in “Keeping Kids in Schools: Restorative Justice, Punitive Discipline, and the School to Prison Pipeline” Thalia Gonzalez states, “The presence of zero tolerance and punitive discipline policies within schools also have negative effects on the offending student, by increasing the likelihood of future disciplinary problems, and ultimately increasing contact with the juvenile justice system”(Gonzalez 282). There are negative effects which impacts a student when they are given a punitive discipline such as when a student is suspended from the school they have less opportunities and support to do well in school.

    Data has shown the opposite effect, schools with higher rates of suspension and expulsion appear to have lower school climate satisfactory rates. Suspensions and expulsions were thought to rectify the behavior however data does not support that theory. School suspension in general appear to predict higher future rates of misbehavior and more suspensions among those students who are suspended (Bowditch, 1993; Costenbader &Markson, 1998; Raffaele-Mendez, 2003; Tobin,Sugai, & Colvin, 1996). In the long term, school suspension and expulsion are moderately associated with a higher likelihood of school dropout and failure to graduate on time (Bowditch, 1993; Ekstrom,Goertz, Pollack, & Rock, 1986; Wehlage &…

    Moreover, if a student feels that they are bad then they are more likely to act up and make poor choices. Most of the students who suffer harsh punishment act up even more afterward. On many occasions, students cannot give each other even the smallest kind of painkiller like Tylenol for example without being suspended from school. Over the years the policy has become far too harsh and thus making students act worse than they did before.

At a young age, it is easier to get diabetes without healthy choices and be overweight.…
