Factors Associated with Suspension from New Zealand Secondary Schools.

Galloway, David; Barrett, Colleen

Educational Review, v36 n3 p277-85 Nov 1984

Information from nine New Zealand secondary schools about suspension for disruptive behavior in 1980 and 1981 showed that boys and girls were suspended with similar frequency, though for different reasons. Further study showed that suspended pupils were in poor health, came from multiply disadvantaged families, and had serious reading problems. (SK)
