Code 2 removal can serve as a necessary intervention for ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment.

It allows immediate action in serious situations, protecting the well-being of both the involved student and their classmates.

It underscores the gravity of the students' actions, promoting accountability. Students need to see that teachers have authority in the classroom and can require a student to take a break.

Fostering a positive learning environment through inclusive teaching methods and consistent positive reinforcement can significantly decrease the need for Code 2 removals.

Implementing comprehensive behavioral expectations that are clearly communicated to students can prevent misunderstandings and potentially disruptive behavior.

Enhancing communication channels between teachers and students can lead to a more understanding and accommodating educational atmosphere.

Frequent check-ins and the establishment of a safe space for expressing concerns or grievances could mitigate conflicts before they necessitate the extreme measure of Code 2 removal.

Cons:

Often, students immediately stop the behavior when a Code 2 is called – indicating that they only respect the authority of admin or Tier II team or somehow realize they crossed a line.

Hearing “Code 2” being called often triggers the student to lashing out further and doubling down on behavior.

Forced class removal by admin creates embarrassment and shame in a way that damages the relationship between staff and student.

Sometimes the Code 2 initiates a new power struggle whereby the student refuses to leave the classroom for several minutes, if at all.

The practice could even foster a sense of alienation from the school community, which is counterproductive to the overall growth and development of the student.
