[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are really not allowed to suspend and expel students anymore baring extreme circumstances. If a student was throwing things in the classroom, aggressively menacing teachers and other students, yelling vulgarities and threats, a school could physically remove the student from class and put them in a room away from other students. You can't do that anymore and students realize it.

When schools can no longer effectively discipline students then chaos reigns. [/quote]

Whatever are you talking about? KIPP has twice as many out of school suspensions across its schools as the DC average and four times as many expulsions. Schools are still suspending and expelling. KIPP Legacy suspended 29% of students and expelled 2%. KIPP Valor suspended over 30%. KIPP Northeast 28%.[/quote]

I think PP is talking about KIPP now relative to KIPP in the past. But I don't know if that data is publicly available. And of course, a day long in-school suspension is one thing, a week or two out of school is quite another.

I also think that now that the DC student population may decline, KIPP can't afford to expel or even long-term suspend a lot of kids of it makes them leave the school.[/quote]

But KIPP is suspending out of school and expelling. In-school is reported separately. OSSE has data publicly available going back more than a decade. KIPP's out of school suspension and expulsion rates are higher for the last period reported (24-25) than they were pre-pandemic. [/quote]
