Thus, some principals are making the decision to not boot kids out the school. The kids know this. If the worst punishment a kid can get (with the exception of stabbing/shooting someone) is detention or a day of in-school suspension, that is not enough of a deterrent.

It's a matter of economics. If a school's rating gets dinged too much for expelling unruly students, the principal faces the prospect of demotion.

The state's rating system needs to be changed, for everyone's benefit but the unruly students.
