And by doing so you are ensuring that these kids will learn that society expects them to misbehave, will be undereducated, and in turn will never really grow up.

Kids make mistakes. Bad ones. Even illegal ones. All of the time. At some point, they deserve a second chance to prove themselves. [/quote]

How odd that you and I come to completely different conclusions.  I take it that by doing so the school is saying that it expected them to behave and because they didn't they face severe consequences.  You make it sound like WL expels kids all the time-- this is the first time I've ever heard of the school expelling a kid.

These kids are getting a second chance-- sounds like they are attending their IB school and if they play their cards right and they can turn this around.  Americans LOVE redemption stories and this has all the hallmarks of one.  "Smart kids at urban high school make a (really) dumb mistake, pick themselves up and keep going, end up in a better place than if they had never made the dumb mistake at all."  Yeah, I'd pay $$ to see that movie/musical/play!  I'm proud that WL made the difficult decision to expel the kids.  It shows that they has high expectations for its students.  I really don't follow how you can say that it shows they have low expectations for the students-- you would have to have some proof that WL expels kids all the time to support such a cynical concept.
