re: WTF! Alabama legislators pass bill making it even tougher to get rid of bad kids!

You don't understand that alternative schools are a joke and the student that just assaulted your child is right back sitting next to your child a few weeks later.

Also, alternative schools only have about 10 students in each class, which means some of the thugs/thiefs are sent right back to school with a few days suspension because alternative schools are full. Would you call 10 students in a class full?

Every public school district in the country needs to have several alternative schools that kids are there all year and have normal classroom sizes. No victim should be forced to go to school with the thug/punk that assaulted them. If they're full, make room for them like regular schools are required to do. I have one class of almost 40, so don't tell me they can't make space.

FYI, those stories you see on school violence in the news, doesn't come close to telling the real story. Guns, knives and drugs are found every day on school campuses and violent assaults also occur every day!

The reality is those administrators that oversee public schools around the country are more worried about perception, not reality! Getting rid of a violent student shouldn't be a long drawn out process because the ones that suffer the most are the good students that are eager to learn.
