Have any forum members ever been suspended from school? If so, what was it like?
My high school had something even worse than suspension, called In School Suspension, which was horrible. Once, in freshman year, what started as a play fight between me and this other guy, in the lunch room, escalated into a real fight. We both got dragged to the Dean's office by the lunch room teachers. We were given In School Suspension for the next day. We had to bring our lunches, and the teachers would tell the ISS supervisor what chapters would be covered in class. There was a bathroom in the room we were in.. soo.. from 7:45 am to 2:15 pm, we could do nothing but read, sit, do our work, and have our 20 minutes for lunch. No talking or leaving the room. I'd have rather been suspended and stayed home, because this sucked even more. The day after I got ISS, when I saw the Dean, he told me it was a relatively new punishment, that they felt was even more severe than regular suspension. I'd learned my lesson. I never again got in trouble like that. In fact, the only other time before that when I'd been in trouble, since Elementary School, was when I got something called Central Detention, or an hour after school detention, with the Vice Principal of the Junior High. I got that for either coming late to class, or swearing in school, I don't remember which one.
Anyhow, that's the topic, have any forum members either been suspended from school, or received in school suspension? If so, what was it like?
