[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Separate schools for bad kids. Like it used to be. Stop interrupting the education of the good kids. Stop electing liberals in the school system! [/quote] What is a "bad" kid and how old does a child need to be before we label them "bad?" There is research showing that Black preschoolers are about 3.5 times as likely to be suspended from school as non-Black preschoolers. What do we even do with that? Obviously there's a problem with the system, because these are children that are not yet school-aged and they are already subject to disproportionate punishments. Even if we assume that those kids are actually acting out and that there are not subtle issues of unconscious bias in play, is it appropriate to suspend a 3 year-old? If that 3 year-old is acting out so badly that she needs suspension, shouldn't the school be doing something to help her before it gets to that point? [/quote]
