School suspension is a more serious intervention that the school uses to correct a child's behavior. School suspension involves the child being removed from the school setting in a general sense. Sometimes, it involves removing the child and restricting him to the home environment i.e. where he is home suspended. In some schools now, they have an in-school suspension, where your child is removed from the regular setting, the regular classroom, and put in this specialized room, where there is either a teacher or a counselor and they're working on regular academic work and also working on correcting the child's behavior or misbehavior.
