“I’m not serving ISS because my momma says she’s taking me out of town for 4 days!”.
Then ISS will see your ass when you come back? The amount of people who believe ISS goes away simply because you depart the city/ don’t display up to school is too damn high

Reminds me of the kid who had his 3 days of ISS interrupted by his mid school year family vacation to Disney World. My parents would have cancelled my trip and made me stay with my drill Sargent grandparents if I ever got ISS.
To quote the film Good Will Hunting "It's not your fault". I hope things got better for you and you recovered from any trauma or abuse from your childhood.
My parents would have gone without me, and left my grandparents in charge. If they weren't available, then my neighbors would take over. Either way, it wasn't going to be a good time for me.
My ma would have (and did) break a wooden spoon on me
Just as like the ones who try to get out of going to the alternative school. 🤣🤣. Got this tale from one of the principals: Kid gets busted for drugs, gets sent to alternative school for 30 days. Mom “You’re picking on my kid!” Mom tries to transfer kid to another high sch...
She could've homeschooled or sent the kid to a private school. There are lots of struggling small private schools that will accept ANYONE.
The district I used to work for would keep track from year to year for more serious offenses. If a student got ten days of DAEP with a week left in the school year, they’d have the option of doing the rest of their time the first five days of summer or starting their next sch...
I've got a kid with 70+ absences in my class who gets in trouble on the rare days they are present. So I get a notice Suzie Q is going to be in ISS on Tuesday, be sure to send work. This is the same notice that gets sent home. Of course Suzie Q does not show on Tuesday. No...
A couple of students in my old district discovered that the policy was written so skipping DAEP resulted in adding that day to the end of their “sentence.” I had one in particular who got thirty days of DAEP in October or November and didn’t complete it until sometime in late ...
I know a girl who does this minus the getting in trouble part. Constantly absent, constantly going home early for x y z, just never there, never participating. Her brother has slightly better attendance but just slightly, like her missing 60 days and going home early 25 times ...
I teach in a small school and ISS happens only occasionally, It costs twice as much to pay for someone to be there in the date the punishment was meant to be served and then again when they actually show up. I wish the family would have to pay the difference.
I just had to sit in a room right outside the APs door. That sounds like a terrible setup.
I had a kid with ISS for three days tell me just this morning “yeah I’m here today but I’m gonna to stay home the next two days because my [absent] mother says I should only have one day because it wasn’t my fault [that I punched my friend in the face because I was mad at a di...
Unfortunately that's the way my school does ISS. Staying home counts as serving your ISS days. I hate it.
It’s crazy how many of them didn’t develop past object permanence. It’s like if I’m not here, I don’t have to do the work. /s
Last fall a student had an out of school suspension. He said he was glad because his mom took him to the and brought him things. I told him that I wished I was suspended.
There’s a kid at my school who knows exactly what they need to do to get OSS. They’ll do it on purpose because their parents both work and they get a day or two to stay home and play video games.
It's like the kids that think you can't get in trouble the last day of school. Nah, buddy. You just start off next year in ISS instead of getting to pick a good seat in class
Then you get it when you come back, no it’s ok, enjoy your break see you later.
That’s one extra day I don’t have to see you Lmaooo
A story I've heard over and over and over.
ISS/ Detention is not even that bad of a punishment. I believe I only had it once, and that was because I was in the doorway of my home class when the tardy bell rang in HS. I was a bit pissed but I got over it, because rules are rules. Morning or afterschool to serve that tim...
ISS was wayyyy different when I was in school than it is now. (I got assigned once in intermediate school.) We sat in small closet-sized rooms just large enough to fit a chair and a desk. You sat facing the blank wall and did your work. There was a window in the door so they c...
We do cell phone contracts. 3 tech write ups and your phone is turned into the office at the start of school until you leave for the day. Our admin figured out last week that putting a date instead of a day count meant kids would just stay home instead of turning in their phon...
I wish my school had an ISS. I have to deal with their argumentative, derailing, deranged behavior all class long EVERY DAY. I am exhausted and moving back to elementary school asap.
It’s very funny that this post popped up for me. I was having a conversation earlier about the 2 times I had ISS and my mom came and picked me up both times. ETA: I’m 33 now. I was 16 or 17 when this happened
stupid parents raising stupid children
Is iss even an effective deterrent for the repeats ?
