Suspension...Punishment or Vacation

Ummm, why if a child in school is acting out are they quick to suspend? Out of school suspension is not punishment it is vacation...HELLO! Just what does the school think these kids are doing home all day especially if they have working parents? I would really like to know. See my son doesn't get a vacation because I'm home right now, he gets Boot Camp, but what about the parents that work. I guess maybe some would be willing and can afford to take off from work and sit home and babysit their unruly children and make the day unfun, but this is not my point and probably not the norm. The point I'm trying to make is parents have to work, so how is this working for us? It isn't! These school delinquent's, smart mouths, class clowns and what have you are home sleeping in, watching TV, playing on the computer, the X-Box, PS3 or whatever but they sure aren't punished. Tax dollars at work...just sayin!
