Download or read book Corporal Punishment in U S Public Schools written by Elizabeth T. Gershoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief reviews the past, present, and future use of school corporal punishment in the United States, a practice that remains legal in 19 states as it is constitutionally permitted according to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result of school corporal punishment, nearly 200,000 children are paddled in schools each year. Most Americans are unaware of this fact or the physical injuries sustained by countless school children who are hit with objects by school personnel in the name of discipline. Therefore, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools begins by summarizing the legal basis for school corporal punishment and trends in Americans’ attitudes about it. It then presents trends in the use of school corporal punishment in the United States over time to establish its past and current prevalence. It then discusses what is known about the effects of school corporal punishment on children, though with so little research on this topic, much of the relevant literature is focused on parents’ use of corporal punishment with their children. It also provides results from a policy analysis that examines the effect of state-level school corporal punishment bans on trends in juvenile crime. It concludes by discussing potential legal, policy, and advocacy avenues for abolition of school corporal punishment at the state and federal levels as well as summarizing how school corporal punishment is being used and what its potential implications are for thousands of individual students and for the society at large. As school corporal punishment becomes more and more regulated at the state level, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools serves an essential guide for policymakers and advocates across the country as well as for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students.

Book excerpt: Since the 1980's, fear of school violence has driven American public education toward increasingly punitive and exclusionary methods of school discipline. Yet recent research has begun to raise serious questions about the effectiveness and equity of suspension and expulsion. Despite such controversy concerning the use and effectiveness of suspension and expulsion, little is known about the actual perspectives of school principals; that is, to what extent do instructional leaders support the philosophy of zero tolerance in general, or the use of suspension and expulsion in particular? Previous research has suggested that there are distinctly different perspectives among principals towards school discipline and that these attitudes may be associated with differences in the use of suspension and expulsion. To address such questions, the authors surveyed Indiana's principals on their perspectives concerning school discipline and violence prevention strategies. Their goals were to (1) gain a sense of attitudes of principals towards school discipline; and (2) explore the extent to which principal attitudes and perspectives are related to disciplinary outcomes in Indiana's schools. (Contains 4 endnotes and 4 tables.) [This report was produced by the Center for Evaluation & Education Policy.].
Download or read book Judging School Discipline written by Richard Arum and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprimand a class comic, restrain a bully, dismiss a student for brazen attire--and you may be facing a lawsuit, costly regardless of the result. This reality for today's teachers and administrators has made the issue of school discipline more difficult than ever before--and public education thus more precarious. This is the troubling message delivered in Judging School Discipline, a powerfully reasoned account of how decades of mostly well-intended litigation have eroded the moral authority of teachers and principals and degraded the quality of American education. Judging School Discipline casts a backward glance at the roots of this dilemma to show how a laudable concern for civil liberties forty years ago has resulted in oppressive abnegation of adult responsibility now. In a rigorous analysis enriched by vivid descriptions of individual cases, the book explores 1,200 cases in which a school's right to control students was contested. Richard Arum and his colleagues also examine several decades of data on schools to show striking and widespread relationships among court leanings, disciplinary practices, and student outcomes; they argue that the threat of lawsuits restrains teachers and administrators from taking control of disorderly and even dangerous situations in ways the public would support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the current knowledge of Indiana public secondary administrators about appropriate discipline for students with disabilities, as defined in statues and legal decisions, to gather data on exclusionary discipline practices to determine if they are used disproportionately with students who are disabled and/or minority students, to investigate the demographic factors that influence Indiana high school principals to use exclusionary methods of discipline with students who are disabled and/or with minority students. Using a mailed survey, all high school administrators were asked to complete a survey which measured knowledge of special education, current exclusionary discipline practices, and demographic data. Data was analyzed using measures of central tendency, t tests, Chinn and Hughes ± 10% of the population proportions Z scores, correlation, regression, and chi-square. Results indicated that the knowledge level was adequate to met the needs of administrators, analysis indicated disproportional use of exclusionary discipline with students with disabilities by a small number of administrators, and the demographic variables of gender, size of school, and locale are significant for use of exclusionary discipline.

Download or read book Unplanned Outcomes written by M. Karega Rausch and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do Indiana schools use school discipline? The first briefing paper explored controversies at the national level concerning the philosophy and practice of zero tolerance. That exploration found that many of the assumptions of zero tolerance are not supported by evidence. The data suggest that zero tolerance tends to be associated with a number of negative school outcomes, including school dropout, negative school climate, and racial disparities. This information is mostly from studies at the national level, however, and does not necessarily address school discipline in Indiana. Thus, this briefing paper describes school disciplinary practices in this state. Specifically, it describes trends in the use of out-of-school suspension and expulsion in the state for the 2002-2003 school year, and the school and district characteristics that are associated with the use of suspension and expulsion. It also reports on a survey of Indiana's school principals regarding school discipline. Finally, the report explores the relationship for Indiana's students between student discipline and academic achievement. (Contains 1 table, 9 color enhanced figures, and 21 endnotes.)

Download or read book Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies written by Brian Schoonover and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandatory punishments for disciplinary offenses have been included in school districts' Student Codes of Conduct since it was mandated by the Gun Free Schools Act of 1994. While zero tolerance policies were initially created to protect students and teachers from gun attacks in schools, the way in which these policies have actually been implemented in schools has prompted some parents, educators, and politicians to challenge them and call for zero tolerance policy reform. Since 1994, a majority of school districts have expanded their use of zero tolerance policies to include infractions other than those included to keep guns out of schools. Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies, the first comprehensive study of its kind, conducted by author Dr. Brian James Schoonover, examines the history of zero tolerance policies, including the practice of adding offenses other than the possession of guns to these policies. With practical, action oriented recommendations on ways policymakers and educational leaders can improve how students are disciplined, Zero Tolerance Discipline Policies offers recommendations on what should be included in a model Student Code of Conduct as well as a recommendation for starting a Three CHANCE (Changing Habits After New Character Education) system of educational placements to ensure all students are educated in a safe and appropriate facility.
