The More You Know

This addresses a significant criticism of OSS, which can lead to students missing valuable instruction and potentially engaging in more trouble while unsupervised.
TRUE. Keep students in school:
ISS serves as a form of punishment that is more severe than a simple detention but less disruptive than an out-of-school suspension. It's used for infractions that violate school rules but are not severe enough to warrant a student's removal from school grounds.

Many ISS programs aim to do more than punish. They are designed to be a time for reflection and to address the underlying causes of a student's behavior. This can include a focus on social-emotional learning, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills.
