my kid goes to private school. expelled students by grade:
1st: 2
2nd: 4
3rd: 4
4th: 3
5th: 5
6th: 3 (so far)
why am I saying this? we pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for having access to this kind of environment. if there is a kid who is fucking up everyone else, the “everyone else” should not have to suffer through it. I would pay double what I pay now for this priviledge for my kid. so yes, 100%, more expelling and more discipline is needed
Isn’t that an absurd indictment of your school? If my (converted) $30k/year school had to expel even a single student every year that would be a massive failure in my eyes.
I am not sure I am following what you are saying here? what kind of failure?
there is a lot of parents that have money to pay for private education for their kids and there is also a lot of those kids that are fuckups.
if you mean failure of the parents - you are 100% - complete failure of the parents.
The crazy thing is, the American populace is already paying ~15k per student for public education. Why are they not expelling kids who are fucking up that environment?
well they will when they realize that MANY children should be left behind… (move to special ed schools or some vocational schools if they are high school age)
I'm of the opinion that parents are largely to blame for all this stuff. School is viewed as daycare and education not really prioritized by a large part of our population. Teacher's get all the blame and that's not right at all.
I'm for things that entails negative consequences for the parents prior to the kid being pigeon holed as a deplorable or unfitting for academic environments. Sending them home is one way to make the parents suffer. But before that, let's group them together and then find ways to level them up as a cohort. Everyone suffers when the class has a huge standard deviation of skills/knowledge/enthusiasm/engagement/support/etc.
