Mr. Dewitt-
I agree with what you are saying in response of my post. But we all know kids don't always fall the rules and every once in a while a good kid gets in trouble. If this happens at the wrong time a 5-day suspension without the opportunity to make up work could cause them to flunk a class. A lot of good private colleges will not take a kid with an F on there transcript regardless of everything else there. Is that really the point of a suspension?
