Causes and consequences of high suspension rates

Sarah Carr, a contributing editor at The Hechinger Report, talked recently with ABC radio about the causes and consequences of high suspension rates in schools. The Hechinger Report focused on these issues in a recent piece for Time.com set in New Orleans and Baltimore. Both the article and the radio interview dive into the long-term implications for students who are chronically suspended, as well as the tradeoffs involved in keeping disruptive students in class.
