Please fill out this suspension form thoughtfully, clearly explaining your reasoning in reaching your judgement. Cite sources and explain what they said and how reliable their information is. Lastly, explain how this situation can be repaired--how can you help these students and the school restore their sense of community.

the parents should be talked to about the matter and the boys should be talked to about different ways to handle issues. there should be a school assembly about how fighting is wrong and how to be better leaders and stop conflict in better ways. The parents should work out their business and tell the public when it is settled.
