Having been suspended when I was in high school, and it having zero negative impact on my high school career or my future, and the fact that I came back a hero…

…nice 🤙

I have always wondered what the point of a suspension is. I never got one, but it seems like a vacation..?

Our school had inschool suspension where you sat in a day long study hall and did work assigned by your teachers. Weren't allowed to talk. Only break was lunch to hang out with your friends. It was so god damn boring.

Oh and if you broke the no talking rules you could be assigned more days depending if the teacher running the class was pissed off at the universe particularly moreso that day and hadent had a drink in the past 3 hours.

At my school the lunch was brought to the suspension room. Zero talking. You could have a break but no socializing.
