[edit] Out of School Suspension

Shouldn't this be in Wiktionary? Or deleted outright? Devotchka 22:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge & redirect - Suspension was certainly a punishment at my school, but it wasn't called "out of school suspension" (what other kind would there be?) and in any case it seems likey it should be merged into an article oon sanctions employed by schools, as it is very short on its own. - Just zis Guy, you know? 22:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I was a little confused by that too. We always just called it "suspension". Devotchka 22:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Dictionary definition (aka dicdef) --Neigel von Teighen 22:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment An other type of suspension is ISS in-school suspension (I had a few of those) they were mostly used for lesser offenses like being tardy for X number of times and so on. At my high school they sometimes let you choose if you wanted a ISS or an OSS tough choice huh? BTW I support "Just zis Guy, you know?" notion for merge and redirect.KnowledgeOfSelf 23:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Relisting to get more votes. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 11:45, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Rename Suspension (punishment) or something, clean up, and keep. Under this title it can be used for both in-school suspension (which we had at my high school too) and out-of-school suspension. At the moment there's just a brief paragraph on suspension as a punishment at Suspension, which is otherwise a disambig page, and that paragraph doesn't even cover its use in schools. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 12:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rename as per Angr and expand to deal with inhouse suspensions. Important disciplinary tool for schools and the most serious step short of expulsion from school. Capitalistroadster 16:59, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Secondary education in the United States and redirect; there's no article on expulsion as a punishment for high schoolers, either, just a brief mention on the Expulsion disambig page. - Pasiphae 21:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rename and expand per Angr. Kappa 01:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested resolution

I propose that we collect this article and any related items under some suitably titled article on sanctions employed by schools. We could call it Punishment (school) as a working title. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 22:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• • "Punishment" might not be the most policically correct term, I suggest "School disciplinary measures". Kappa 01:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. See, for example, this rule. There are many like it on Google--thousands. Wikify, etc. Chick Bowen 03:59, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
