In most schools there are 10% of the kids causing 90% of the disruption.


It is almost impossible to expel a student now and getting more and more difficult to suspend a student.

Especially if a student black.

A district must provide to the Federal Government statistics showing the percentage of black students suspended and expelled vs white students.


Allowing schools to expell those who are impeding the safety and learning of others will go a long way to fixing the schools.

That is certainly an important issue. But it might fall in line somewhat, given more pride in circumstance by the 90%.

Put another way, making school cool renders disruptive behavior uncool.
I'm not sure there is a more powerful influence for JrHigh-HighSchoolers than peer influence.

We don't really suspend kids at my school. One of my students was suspended when she elbowed me in the stomach (I was 6 months pregnant) and 3 students got suspended after bringing bb guns to school. Kids can fight each other, throw desks and other objects, cuss out teachers and other students, hit teachers and there are really no consequences. Schools are basically ensuring a population of inmates by teaching them they can do whatever they want and not face consequences.
