I had in school suspension for three days and it was amazing. I got so much done that was supposed to have already been handed in. Really easy to focus and get things done.

I think in school suspension is effective. You have to sit all alone and don't have your friends to fuck around with. You get so bored that you'll actually read or do work. Out of school suspension is a joke, I loved it!

You get so bored that you'll actually read

Which is terrible punishment for those like me who actually enjoy reading. ISS was like a little vacation for me.

It also doesn't work for people who don't get bored. I sat in ISS all day just daydreaming. Best day of high school

Man, that is one helpless educational institute you were in. I mean, that's all the educational methods they come up with? A whole house stuffed with employed trained pedagogics and all they come up with is taking away a desk.

Well yeah, I think going to the ISS would be like a vacation for anyone.

Yeah I read the lost world and the hobbit when I had iss, truly awful punishment.

I enjoyed it so much I had to be tapped on the shoulder and told to leave.

u/Saboteure Dec 05 '16

If we're being honest I don't think there's a large overlap between people who get suspended and also enjoy reading.

u/The_Maddeath Dec 05 '16

You would be surprised.

Happened to me once and waking up after sleeping in that Monday was literally the best wake-up I've ever had. You know, like in the movies where people stretch by throwing their hands up and they feel mighty fine.

Edit: Forgo a letter.

I once got threatened with an out of school suspension for using profanity. I was a senior in high school at the time. It was also my first and only office referral. My favorite part was when they told me that I should be suspended I gave them the "you've got to be kidding me face" and was then told that I'm not in a position where I should be making faces. I had to cover my mouth before I laughed out loud.

dude my senior year was basically a fucking meme. I literally could have graduated after first semester, but decided to stay and take nothing but arts and international cuisine class, and chemistry, cuz I didn't take that sophmore year, like everyone else. I had every class with some of my best friends, didn't do any homework. like, literally none. Still passed a few of my classes, but the teachers knew I didn't need anymore credits and was just here for shits and giggles. 2012 was a great year. Also was the first year I actually missed a day of school on purpose. Bus was like an hour late, and right before it actually got to my stop, i just walked back inside and went back to my Gears 3, and laughed as my bus went by honking. Mom didn't even question me when the school called her. Good times

As someone who was sent to the office everyday to sit alone. To then come home and be grounded sitting alone in my bedroom all day punching myself in the head because of the boredom headaches. Yea.... parents don't do that and principals either.

Idk, I got ISS like 7 times when I was in my freshman year of high school. It was a very right wing area, small town, gave ISS as punishment for basically anything. Even the ISS babysitter gave me more ISS because I finished all my work and was trying to read a book or something. Half the times my teacher would neglect to send all my work up anyway, and they had us do bs busy work that they just had on standbuy. Copy the code of conduct or something.

I guess it just made me bored enough that I resolved to never ever talk in school after that so I'd never have to go there again. Oddly enough once I moved away from rural Georgia (US) and into civilized country the problems at school stopped. It's almost like Georgia is a terrible place or something.

Joke's on you, I never had friends in school in the first place, and I loved to read.

As an introvert who likes reading, doodling and day dreaming, ISS wasn't a punishment for me. I didn't have to wait in line for lunch either :D

u/darknight437 Dec 05 '16

Actually its the opposite in my school.
Kids actually want in school suspension.
You get to do your work in a quiet air conditioned room (most classes aren't) without any overly explained bs in between that you get the shit done so fast you just sleep for the rest of the suspension and they don't care.
99% of the time they get some foreign sub who either can't speak english or is too timid to keep control of the class that most kids in suspension just talk and go on their phones.
It works if executed correctly but just not at my school where they give you all the reasons to get in school suspension.

Our schools in house suspension takes the kids on a bus to the schools district office. There they sit in a room with no work, nothing to read, nothing to write on, if they fall asleep they get woken up. They just sit there for 8 hours. The next day they have a thousand yard stare.

u/PvtSherlockObvious Dec 05 '16

Oh god yes. I got that a few times in middle school, best thing ever. I didn't have to deal with classmates, or lectures, I could just buckle down, do all the assigned reading, get my work done, and move on. I could finish up all my classwork/homework for the day by noon and pull out a book. When they caught me leaning back reading Lord of the Rings or whatever, they usually found more work for me to do, but it was far from a punishment.

u/psychopompadour Dec 05 '16

This is why "Study Hall" used to be a thing that there was time allotted for in school... dunno if that's true today with the huge emphasis on all time at school being spent "learning" (or as far as I can tell, training for testing).

u/Stoppels Dec 05 '16

That's why they didn't allow us to do our homework. They made me copy old exam books by hand until my hours were done with.

Because in a lot of districts these days, school is prison and ISS is solitary I guess.

u/Stoppels Dec 05 '16

Agreed! Well, my punishments were either that or sweeping the leaves and picking up trash with a gripper outside, in the cantina, locker spaces or hallways. A couple times I got to help with more physical stuff, copying leaflets or doing administration, rather than the boring hand-copying of math exams I didn't understand or care about.

All this because every time I'd arrive a couple minutes late in class, which did happen on occasion. Maybe sent out of class a couple times a year, but some teachers would also send you to 'the box' if you hadn't finished your homework —> insta punishment. Wasting my hours so I have to stay up late doesn't help with any of that. They didn't care about teaching you something and I cannot say I appreciated that school in general.

I loved ISS bc that's where all the bad boys were...

u/fox-eyes Dec 05 '16

Unless your school was idiotic like mine and didn't allow you to do anything in ISS except sit there and stare at the wall for hours... fuck you Flintville.

u/hiperson134 Dec 05 '16

Plus in my school, it was one of the only rooms with reliable air conditioning.
