In-School Suspension (ISS) or On- Campus suspension (OCS), sometimes known as "internal exclusion/isolation", Modified Learning Center (MLC), and by some Florida schools as "School Center for Special Instruction", is an alternative setting that removes students from the classroom for a period of time, while requiring students to attend school and complete their work. This form of punishment is often chosen because it provides supervision and structure to the students days, whereas a student who is given an off-campus suspension receives essentially an unscheduled holiday, as off-campus suspension is widely considered to be nothing more than a pleasant reward to troublesome students, instead of the punishment that it is intended to be. Out of school suspension can also theoretically give students motivation to intentionally misbehave, who would prefer to be suspended out of school (especially those who may lack parental supervision to keep them in line during the day when they'd otherwise be in school), rather than being kept in it. Generally, a student assigned to on-campus suspension spends the entire school day in the designated OCS location, completes work submitted in advance by the student's teachers, and is monitored by school staff.
