It is very difficult for me to write in thesis vs antithesis form and being limited to choosing only one, because I am a synthetic thinker. I prefer synthesis, always. It has never failed in proving to me that it is a superior structure and format of logic. In any case, this is my most recent rough draft. Not So Extracurricular Punishment for students in the school place can vary from being a simple verbal reminder or scolding to suspension and even expulsion. Some more extreme methods involve excluding students from extracurricular school activities such as dances and sporting events or an after school program for student clubs. Opinions on this matter with oscillate from person to person, but depending on the degree of the violation, I believe that students should be punished accordingly, and sometimes that calls for penalties as harsh as excluding a student from said school activities. Some violations can be so awful and harmful to the school and to other students that it would be unreasonable to go without equal punishment. If a student significantly harms another student, that would be grounds for such an acceptation. Think of having to go to your senior prom and being forced to spend it around the bully that has physically and mentally assaulted you without remorse. Because of a scenario such as this, excluding students from school activities is a useful punishment. In explanatory nascence, excluding students from school activities is a useful punishment because it can serve to wake up the compunction of the student at fault, and protect students that are being effected. To be clearer, for any number of reasons a student can misbehave at school, and sometimes will continue this pattern until disciplinary action is enforced. Upon the student realizing the extent of its actions and the disciplinary methods manifesting, the student may have a moral epiphany and come to halt any further inappropriate activity while within the complex of the institution, and possibly even outside of it. These methods, if successful post-application, will not only improve the character of the out of line student, but in some cases may even increase academic performance of the student. An additional consolation to administering this type of punishment is found through protecting innocent students. For instance, a student may be causing a ruckus in class or on campus, and from so impeding on the ability of the other students to diligently pursue their school work. Should this student be removed from school for a short while, or even restricted from attending school activities, it may be beneficial for the remaining student body. The innocent students and the majority will be able to focus more on what’s really important, their education. In this way, the guilty student may benefit from being punished and the innocent students may benefit from the student being punished. Excluding students from school activities is a useful punishment and can benefit more than just one person. Secondly, excluding students from school activities can increase school safety. Some students cause physical damage to other students and to the campus. An example of this would be a bully. A bully picks on another student simply because the bully can. It is never justified in any moral and ethical way that hovers on peace and respect, rather the bully knows full well the psychological implications it is causing on the bullied student. In some instances bullying can become so bad and so heartless that the bullied student is physically assaulted and battered. Usually bullied students are the nicest and quietest students in the school, and often times the smartest. I believe that the bullied student should always be protected and that the bully should always be punished according to protocol. Some bullies don’t stop there. Some bullies wreak destructive havoc on schools. From spray painting the buildings, to cutting down the trees and breaking windows. These miscreant students cost the school and the city money which in turn results in future and current students having less funds accredited to their school’s education because it has to be spent on repairs. I would adore it to be seen through that proper corrections are bestowed upon these trouble students. The aforementioned students are a transparent example as to why excluding students from school activities is a useful discipline. Thirdly, excluding students from school activities as a punishment can be useful in light of the fact that it can be a much needed alert to the parents or caretakers of the individual. Utilizing a punishment in this manner can cause oblivious guardians to become aware of the seriousness of the student’s behavior. From this reaction the guardians may implement future restrictions or ideas to keep the student in line. These implications, stirred up by excluding the student from school activities, will be a constant reminder to the student to behave in a respectful and ethical manner. Excluding a student from school activities can also make the teachers aware of the type of individual that they are going to have to be dealing with from day to day. Special treatment for a problem student can result in that student’s improvement. Either treating the troubled student with more care or exaggerated sternness can cause the student to conduct itself in a more acceptable posture. This would be a much needed and beneficial consequence for the student, the teachers, and other students that this individual may be negatively effecting. Disciplining a student by retracting its privilege to participate in school functions can be an eye opener for teachers, guardians, and the students themselves. In final fruition, I find it to be highly imperative, beneficial and thus useful to punish students by redacting their rights to attend special school activities should they commit acts deserving of such discipline. Punishment of this kind can cause a student to rethink its actions, thoughts, and behaviors. Furthermore, it can equate to an overall improvement in school safety and student well-being, and if successful it can bring families, students, and teachers closer together. This is why I believe that ceasing a trouble making student’s rights to partake in privileged school activities is a useful tool of punishment.
