Can we make a list of student discipline issues/offenses that are considered major? Do these change when in elementary, middle or high schools?
Lets start a list -
[I once had a student throw a chair toward another student (the chair went out the window and the high-school student went to court).]

WHERE SHOULD WE PUT FIGHTING?
I think fighting should be put on the major offenses list. Fighting not only puts students in harms way, but it also affects the school climate, sometimes to the point where students do not feel safe.
Also, on the major list should be a category that's something like frequently committing minor offenses.
- Possession of drugs or weapon(s)
- Sexting
- Threats towards a teacher or student
- Bullying
- Sexual Harassment
- Possession of pornography
It is very important to have set guidelines and policies in place for major offenses. The principal must follow these guidelines and policies consistently. ISLLC standard 5 applies here.
