[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster that asked what happens with the badly behaved children in public school.  I'm not new to private school -- I've seen a child counseled out and continue to see some that should be counseled out but have not been (I'm still hoping that something will be done).  I know someone very well that gave a large donation to a Big 3 private and their child is a nightmare.  I'm sure that child has a very secure place in that school now.  Yikes.[/quote]

Re public schools:  My first year of teaching high school (in a different state), a kid whacked another kid in the head with a skate board, knocking him out, and continued to kick the shit out of him until a teacher managed to pull him off the poor, unconscious kid.  It was the spring and the attacker was expelled for the rest of the year.  The following fall, who shows up in my first period class?  Skate board boy.  Over the summer the parents showed up with their lawyer threatening the superintendent with a big fat lawsuit if they didn't let skater boy back into school that fall.  This was a very small school district that didn't want to deplete their budget on a costly law suit.  Skater boy was back.

It takes an awful lot for the public schools to permanently kick someone out.  If it's a large enough district, they may have an "alternative" school to send these kids too - but the ones I've experienced were pretty bad so parents will fight that too.

At my DC's private, I have seen trouble makers thrown out in elementary and high school. [/quote]
