From the Paper:

"An alternative school exists within the school system, and provides the student with a removed setting within the school for a period of up to 10 days. However, space for additional students in the alternative school is limited to 3 at any given time. Home suspensions are allowed for up to ten days. However, this is often the preferred method of discipline by students, as it is perceived as a sanctioned vacation. Here, the student will certainly fall behind with respect to the schoolwork. In most cases, these are remedies of last resort. The more typical scenario is that the Assistant Principal reprimands the student and sends him or her back to the classroom, often in cases where the student may deserve a much harsher punishment."
