A student at my school got in-school suspension because he left the room without telling the teacher. The teacher was a substitute and he fell asleep...he said the student could leave but was half asleep so he didn't remember. Shouldn't the teacher get in trouble for sleeping on the job?
The Teacher fell asleep? A substitute? Was this reported? The SUSPENSION seems a bit extreme. Having taught I would expect the TEACHER to have some sort of punishment, not the student.....
Well, I have never heard of suspension for such a small thing UNLESS the student has a reputation for doing this all the time. If I were the parent, I would talk with the principal.
On a side note, I would NEVER EVER go to sleep in a room with high schoolers. That is just stupid.
We are seniors in high school. And this substitute has a reputation.
How old are you? Is there a possibility you're not hearing the whole story? I ask because you said we're seniors in high school. If this is your friend s/he may not have told you the whole story to save face. What was this person doing when it was determined they left class without asking? Reporting the teacher? Goofing off? Smoking? Just think of it like this if your boss is asleep on the job that doesn't mean you can stop doing what your job and leave. The world doesn't work like that. Sure if true the teacher needs to be disciplined, but that doesn't give the students the right to leave the room.

I know I am writing back late, but I just saw this now. I am 17 and the student that left the room is 18 (although I am unsure if he was 17 or 18 when this happened). I don't know what the student was doing. But he did not knowingly leave the room without permission. The substitute told him he could leave, but the substitute was half asleep and did not remember giving the student permission to leave. This substitute has came into school hungover before. Like I said, the substitute has a reputation.

I do not know of a single secondary school that permits students to roam the halls without a pass. Is that the policy of the school? If so your friend should have asked for a pass before leaving the room. If you are seniors in HS you must be familiar with the the school rules.
Most schools today give student planners to all students. In the back of the planner, there are pages that have pass information. This info needs to be filled out by the teacher. Being in the hall without the planner can be enough for ISS, especially if the student has had other infractions. There are always rumors about substitutes or certain teachers, but often that information is untrue. No matter, if the student is 18, he knows the rules and needs to behave accordingly as a young adult. Man up and be responsible.
