Suspension and expulsion is not an effective tool and solution in our schools because it can lead to dropout rates and other violent crimes in the future. If a student commits a crime and the crime is not considered to be threatening, it is most likely that the principal or teacher may suspend that student. To the student suspension is a good thing for them since they have to just stay at home and do nothing. When students get expelled or suspended so many times, it seems normal to them, so they would not feel the consequences of the discipline and the purpose of it. Dropout rates and other violent crimes may contribute from continuous suspension and expulsion.
If “separate but equal” still existed it would create violence. U.S. Marshalls were guarding her Ruby Bridges in school, going to school and coming back from school. When Tricia Ann when to a hotel, the hotel manager shooed her away with his hands saying “What makes you think you can come inside? No colored people are allowed!” I believe “separate but equal” will never be fair. It was once no fair and always be not fair.
And while she said she's "counting the days until graduation," she doesn't plan to leave high school without fighting back. She and her mother are preparing a lawsuit against her bullies and their parents.

The focus on their disruption of the educational process has come into conflict with cell phones becoming a convenience items over recent years. However, parents have increasingly lobbied boards to change policies primarily based on the argument that phones will make students and schools safer in light of national tragedies. Kacie Tampen, 18, sat in math class as she began getting call after call from her Uncle Jim. Curious, she answered as she feared something terrible happened, resulting in her getting her cell phone taken away.
Drug Testing in School .The issue at hand is whether the school administration and staff have the right to drug test any student at any time for any probable suspicion.This is unconstitutional and unethical and as Americans, it violates all our rights which were given to us by our founding fathers.This has been a controversial topic in this country for about fifteen years. They have been stealing the rights away from others for all these years and it needs to stop. They need to stop interfering with the personal lives of students.The issue in debate is the drug testing of students and the credibility of these tests in America’s school system. The issue in debate is the drug testing of students and the credibility of these tests in America’s school system due to the fact of our fourth amendment right which our founding fathers gave us and wanted us to express our rights if necessary.

One example of how uniforms restrict learners is that "without the outlet of expression in their clothes, students may turn to inappropriate hair styles, jewelry, or makeup". So by restricting students of their clothing choice, they will still find a way to show their personality in their makeup, jewelry, and hairstyles. As stated by the Public School Review, under the First Amendment, it argues that uniforms stifle (restrain) children who feel robbed of their individualism. In addition uniforms create a false sense of security. Even if uniforms decrease violence and everyone is treated equal, the outside world does not run as orderly and smoothly as it would in a school.
Here are some examples of why some believe we should not uphold the right to freedom of speech within our public school system: Many students believe that school uniforms should not be introduced, because of the limitation of their freedom. I believe that introducing a uniform to the school would decrease the diversity between each student, and it will be the solution for many problems. Taking this issue in to consideration, I wish to explain the benefits/ advantages of wearing a uniform to school. I personally think that a dress code enforces discipline in learning by changing a person’s attitude toward success. Students generally act the way they are dressed.
