    - The document discusses an article about decreasing suspension and expulsion rates statewide in California. In particular, the category of "willful defiance" accounted for much of the decrease as it is ambiguous and can cover minor student actions. - The author argues that suspension and expulsion should only be used rarely and that we need to address the underlying causes of student behaviors rather than our own frustration. Finding the core issues like family responsibilities or lack of supplies can lead to solutions. - It remains to be seen how new reporting of suspensions and expulsions as achievement indicators under the Every Student Succeeds Act may further decrease rates as schools face more accountability.
