Misbehaving students must face "consequences"

In her daughter's kindergarten class, Stream said, somestudents arrive late all the time. Shesaid this forces teacher to repeat lessons, taking away teaching time.

arrive late all the time 总是迟到

repeat lessons 重复课程

take away teaching time 占用教学时间

Some students refuse to sit down in the classroom, choosing instead to walk around and talk. This makes it hard for other studentsto keep their attention on what the teacher is saying, Streamsaid. Bad behavior is even more of a problem in middle school, she added.

"Students know they can run all over the teachers," Stream told VOA. "Students need to know there will be consequences if they don't behave."

‘Alternatives' that keep students in school

Better ways than suspension are available to deal with misbehaving students. So says Daniel Losen, director of the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at UCLA.

"There are many alternatives that teach good behavior and hold students accountable for their conduct while keeping them in school," he said.

Shaun Harper directs the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Study of Race and Equity. Harper said he found a successful alternative program at 40 small public high schools in New York City.

The program uses student-led groups, working with teachers and counselors, to decide punishment for misbehaving students. Harper said the students are more likely to react positively when they are "part of finding a solution."

John King is the U.S. Secretary of Education. In June, he reported a nearly 20 percent reduction in school suspensions nationwide.

"Fewer suspensions is an important sign of progress," King said. But he said concern remains over continued higher suspension rates for African-Americans.
