Study Notes

  1. Schools were voluntary during colonial times, but by 1918, all states had compulsory public school attendance laws.
  2. Corporal punishment was used in schools before the shift to suspensions and expulsions.
  3. Zero tolerance policies were implemented in response to concerns about school violence, particularly after the Columbine High School shooting in 1999.
  4. Zero tolerance policies led to disproportionate discipline for minority and special education students.
  5. The Safe Schools Act of 1994 promoted and funded partnerships for in-school police forces, but there is a lack of evidence that this makes schools safer.
  6. In the 2009-2010 academic year, 96,000 students were arrested while on school grounds and 242,000 were referred to juvenile court by school officials.
  7. Black students are more likely to be referred to law enforcement or arrested in school.
  8. Punitive school environments have counterintuitively made schools less cohesive and learning more difficult.
  9. Strict discipline protocols can quickly escalate to school removal and exclusions, creating the school-to-prison pipeline.
  10. Some school districts and policymakers have moved away from the zero tolerance approach in recent years.
