    Kelly Briner commented on a Near Pod presentation that broke down racial demographics of school disciplinary actions. It showed an unusually large number of suspended disabled students who were of mixed ethnicity, which Briner found puzzling and could not think of an explanation for. Briner also notes it makes sense that demographics punished in school would be incarcerated later, as society contributes to the pattern. However, schools often get more blame than necessary for societal trends, as businesses, media, politics all play roles too. The best approach is to avoid punishing students and try other methods first, and ensure any discipline is actually teaching the student something.

    Schools, Prisons, & Social Implications of Punishment


    Kelly Briner

    Reaction: The is not anything to do with the article, but instead something that I
    wanted to comment on regarding the Near Pod presentation that broke down and
    compared the racial demographic break down of school disciplinary actions. There
    was a section on suspensions by disability, and for whatever reason there was an
    insanely large amount of students who were of mixed ethnicity who received
    suspensions while being disabled. I struggled for some time to brainstorm a reason,
    but Ive got nothing. I wonder why that specific stat is so massive. I couldnt come
    up with anything to justify it or any rationale.
    Connection: It makes sense that the same demographic of person who gets
    punished in high school would be incarcerated in prison. Considering that the main
    contributing factor is society as a whole, so if nothing changes than obviously the
    pattern will stay the same.
    Thought: Its so weird to me how the education system is looked at and often
    blamed for societal trends that result in specific racial demographics of people who
    end up in prison. Of course schools are a part of it, but I feel like they get more
    blame than is necessary and that businesses and marketing, media, politics,
    everything plays a role in this type of pattern.
    Application: Dont punish kids. Try every method you can before you discipline
    them and if you do end up needing to discipline them, make sure that they are
    actually getting something or learning something from their punishment rather than
    giving them a vacation.
    Reaction: I like how they made a point in the article to show the aftershock of the
    rest of the class if someone is disciplined or punished in the classroom. If a student
    is removed it does not necessarily mean that the learning environment is all of the
    sudden peachy keen.
