My feelings about this are actually mixed.  I think it's not a terrible idea to remove trouble-makers from schools where they make everyone else's lives difficult.  I'm concerned for both the educators and the students who are imperiled by the presence of dangerous and disruptive students.  What's bothering me about this story is yet another deliberate deception on DCPS's part to hide what they're doing.  DCPS has a long history of lying about anything and everything of importance: the fact that test scores are fudged by both teachers and administrators in order to receive bonuses, the fact that they can't and won't educate students with special needs, the fact that money is never accounted for to the tax-payers, really - it's harder to stop than to start when it comes to DCPS.[/quote]
