Someone wrote "OSS is the harshest penalty which a public school can impose. That it is looked upon as a "day off" speaks volumes about the way our society takes for granted the amazing concept of a free and public education and how parents view it as well. "Back in the day" if you got kicked out of school you got worked hard at home during the "time off." "

My response to that is that school isn't free. And because some people look at it like that could explain why our education system is in such a mess, and we are not able to see that vouchers are a good thing. School choice is a good thing. Competition amongst schools is a good thing.
