BREAKING NEWS: Strict Classroom Rules Come at a Steep Price for Vulnerable Students A middle school student with ADHD has been suspended multiple times, sparking concerns about the impact of strict classroom rules on vulnerable students. Thirteen-year-old Levent, who attends Paramount Englewood Middle School in Indianapolis, has been disciplined and suspended several times this year. According to school records, he was suspended for fighting, disrespecting teachers, and not following school rules while already in trouble. Levent's mother, Shania, believes the strict rules are exacerbating her son's academic struggles. "He's behind academically because of how often he's been disciplined," she said. The school has documented Levent's ADHD as a disability, but his repeated suspensions have raised questions about whether the school is doing enough to accommodate his needs. This incident highlights concerns about the impact of strict classroom rules on students with disabilities. As one expert notes, "These policies can be particularly damaging for students who are already struggling." The case has sparked an investigation into the school's handling of student discipline and accommodations. The outcome of this investigation is still pending. This is a developing story.
