  • Question

  • In the Maple Hill school district, a Five-Day Suspension occurs when a student is not permitted to attend school for five days for (1) physically assaulting another student, a teacher, or a school employee or (2) willfully destructing or defacing school property. Which situation below is the best example of a Five-Day Suspension?


  • Options
  • A. Lillian gets caught cheating on a math test for the second time and is suspended from school.
  • B. Marc is asked to leave the classroom due to his constant disruptions.
  • C. Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.
  • D. Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.

  • Correct Answer
  • Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension. 

    Explanation
    Although choices a and c both describe suspensions, only choice c describes a suspension that is the result of one of the two scenarios given in the definition of a five-day suspension (physical assault or destructing or defacing school property). Therefore, we can assume that Franny's suspension, which is the result of spray painting school property, will be a five-day suspension. Since the definition doesn't provide any information about suspensions for cheating, we can assume that Lillian's suspension does not fall into the five-day suspension category.
