Prevention, Not Punishment.

Tomczyk, Karen

American School Board Journal, v187 n5 p60-61 May 2000

An urban New Jersey district changed its high-school suspension policy, giving chronically tardy students administrative detention. Suspensions have been halved, and more students are graduating. Other successful programs include peer mediation and an alternative-education/tutoring program for disaffected middle-schoolers. (MLH)
