Abstract

The purpose of this case study is to determine whether traditional methods of exclusionary punishment, such as detention, suspension, and expulsion affect the grades, attendance, and behavior of students who have been removed from the classroom. I will examine students from a middle school of 450 students to find out how removal from the regular classroom setting as a consequence of their behavior affects grades, attendance, and behavior as evidenced by school records and perceptions of the participants.
