Schools are increasingly using lengthy expulsions of students for offenses committed on school property. Expulsion is basically the permanent removal of a student from school for breaking serious rules or policies in the school. While the discipline code of every school varies, expulsion is usually regarded as the highest form of punishment. In most cases, expulsion of students from school is utilized after other forms of discipline and punishment are ineffective in correcting a student’s behaviors. Additionally, decisions on expulsions of students are usually recommended by the school principal and include an explanation of the specific offense or reason contributing to this form of punishment.The determination of when expulsion would be an appropriate form of discipline or punishment varies across different schools. This variation is also attributable to the lack of statutory lists of grounds for expulsion since schools have different policies on what constitutes a suitable cause for permanent removal of a child from the school (Education Law Center, 2012). However, there are some common factors that would constitute suitable grounds for expulsion of a student. One of these factors includes the potential harm a student may pose to others within the school environment. Expulsion would be appropriate if a student poses harm...
In this case, expulsion is utilized to protect other people in the learning environment and school property. Additionally, expulsion would be appropriate in cases where the student continues to deliberately disobey and violate school policies, damages school property, is involved and convicted of a crime, and possesses or uses illegal drugs in the school environment.
While expulsion would be appropriate in the previously described situations, there are alternatives to this form of punishment. One of the most suitable and effective alternatives to expulsion is positive behavioral interventions. These interventions help in addressing a student’s undesirable and challenging behaviors in a manner that is beneficial to the student and the school. The use of these interventions requires conducting a functional behavioral assessment to determine the causes of the student’s behaviors. The information derived from the assessment is in turn utilized to develop positive interventions and support that deal with the behavior. Positive behavioral interventions are suitable alternatives to expulsion since they are based on an objective and accurate understanding of a student’s behaviors in relation to the social and environmental factors contribute to…

Students Will Select a Construct of Interest My construct of interest is whether there are any prejudice tests that can accurately measure prejudice to races other than Blacks.

Student Bullying/Discipline 1. Abstract According to the Illinois Legal Aid Online (2018) Bullying can be understood as the aggressive and unwanted traits espoused by school going children. The traits entail some perceived or real power imbalance. Some of the students will use this power (such as their physical strength, popularity, access to privileged information) to harm, blackmail or harm other students. This behavior has to be repeated or have the potential of
The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
limits that should be placed upon search and seizure in public schools. Apply specific legal rulings to support your position. Analyze the New Jersey v. T.L.O. case and explain how it supports or undermines your argument. Recommend changes to existing (specific) laws to create a fairer educational setting in terms of search and seizure. It seems to me that search and seizure of student and faculty member possession should be scrupulously directed by

Next, a hearing where both sides of the
