Safety,Fairness and Development:New Trends in Disciplinary Reform in Primary and Secondary Schools in the United States
In order to address the issues of"security suffering"and"racial disparity"in school discipline,as well as to meet the needs of students'social and emotional development in the post-pandemic era,the United States has launched a round of disciplinary reforms in primary and secondary schools in recent years,demonstrating the values of"safety,fairness and development".In order to build a healthy learning environment,the United States prohibits the use of punitive disciplinary measures and oppose discriminatory disciplinary punishment in primary and secondary schools,advocating that school discipline should help students develop social emotions.In the process of school disciplinary reforming,the US government has taken strong measures:having clarified the scope and limitations of exclusionary punishment to protect students'educational rights,initiated investigations on discriminatory suspension to promote fairness in educational punishment,increased federal and state funding to support students'social and emotional development,strengthened professional training in restorative justice to regulate disciplinary behavior,exempted states from academic accountability and evaluation requirements to support the reconstruction of school discipline,and strengthened cooperation with non-profit organizations to build a community of disciplinary reform.
