Part 2
Suspension of Son from School
Scenario: 11-year-old son has been suspended from school
numerous times for fighting. He just can't seem to get along
with other children.
Suspension of Son from School
A suspension from school implies that a youngster is briefly
prohibited from going to school for a timeframe, enduring
somewhere in the range of one day to a week or more, as a
discipline for poor/awful conduct and improper behavior. Some
of the time a suspension is issued for the infraction; different
circumstances, it is rendered after proceeded with troublesome
or resistant behavior when different strategies for train have
fizzled (Iselin, 2010).
The student’s performance is a reflection of the parents. High
expectations conducts are vital in helping youngsters to feel
safe and learn well, and the guardians and parents have a key
impact on this.
The legislature encourages schools to concentrate on advancing
optimistic conduct, building self-restraint and empowering
regard for others. Be that as it may, schools additionally require
authorizations to dissuade understudies from getting into
mischief.
Schools should survey their positive conduct approaches
frequently and announce them to guardians, staff, and students.
The exact substance of a school's strategy is an issue for each
school to choose in a conference with the parents.
Teach positive approaches ought to incorporate a set of
principles for students. Principles can apply prior and then
afterward school, and additionally amid the school day. They
can set desires for how the students will act in halls, in
transport lines, and at lunch and break times and moreover in
the classroom.
Key Issues from Scenario

3. Key issues in the above scenario are described as follow:
a) Lack of discipline
Lack of discipline is one of the problems in the situation. The
act of the child fighting with other children can be associated
with indiscipline. If it were just a psychological issue, the child
would have opted to alienate himself from others instead of
fighting.
b) Psychological problems
Fighting all the time and have a rough time when it comes to
accommodating others cannot be explained by other words other
than psychological issues. The problem might be suffering from
related mental disorders (Selph, 2013). In the scenario, the
parent has stated that he has tried to look for counseling
guidance. A person is only counseled when he or she is going
through a psychological problem that can quickly solve.
c) Lack of proper ways to deal with the problem
The best way to deal with any given challenge is to make sure
that the issue is dealt with head-on. The parent runs away from
the problem rather than facing the problem (Shechtman & Sarig,
2016). Transferring the boy to another school is not tackling the
problem but moving the problem from one institution to
another.
d) Institutional problems
Institutions have the responsibility of taking care of the
children. When it gets to a point where an institution cannot
contain the situation of a child, there are questions which need
to be asked (Lin & Bratton, 2015). Continuous fights are issues
which should be handled long before they escalate.
e) Hindering the problem
The parent has stated that he or she is willing to help the child.
However, he talks about transferring the child to another school
and also talks about spiritual interventions (Gray et al. 2017).
f) Problem-solving mechanisms
Instead of facing the child and confronting the issue, the parent
shifts the blame to the environment (Murphy, 2015). School
environment and the peers escalate the problems. I firm believer

4. if you cannot beat them do not join them at all. Both adversaries
are both correct and wrong at the same time if they cannot
conclude then it opportunities to move on. As a young
adolescence, you must voice your opinion and tell your
concerns to the teachers if not they will not have any idea how
to help my son. My son has to open up to the teachers, coaches,
and guidance counselor or principal, so they can relay the
message to me like the parents and take head-on approaches
immediately.
Causes of the Issues
By looking at the behaviors of the child, the parents have
neglected the condition of the child and the school seems not to
be doing enough. First, the parents have the mandate to make
sure that when the outbursts take place, the child is dealt with
immediately (Carnes‐Holt & Bratton, 2014). Blaming others or
the environment instead of dealing with an issue is exposing the
child to more risks. Second, the institution ought to have dealt
with the issue of the child earlier. The parents decided to
transfer the child when the issue escalated, that shows that there
was reluctance from the side of the parents. If we can talk
immediately to the school’s Principal for a second chance for
him to stay in school and battle this together as a team to make
him a better student. If he was suspended entirely with no my
intervention, then the best solution is to transfer my son to an
institution or another public school.
Impacts of the Issues
The issues have effects on all members of the community. The
fellow students were the victims of the fights, and that exposes
them to physical harm. The parents are also likely to be affected
psychologically and financially (Nystul, 2015). The
psychological aspect is associated with the fact that no parent is
ever at peace when his or her child is going through a problem.
The parent might be overprotective, but deep inside he or she
suffers more than any other person. The school suffers because
it can lose students who were victims of the fight or alienate
who might have had the interest to bring their children to the

5. school with good intention.
Recommendations
The only suitable solution, in this case, is a psychological
intervention. The child needs to be taken to a child counselor
(Kottman & Stiles, 2013). Doing so will make sure that the
problem is identified and at the same time, the most suitable
solution is provided. The child has depicted that there is an
issue which is not healthy and therefore professional
interventions ought to be employed. Two types we can do first
is guidance counselor within the suspension school or removal
from the school for external aids.
