[quote=Anonymous]It may be hard to believe, but I have seen this happen.  There are 3- and 4-year-olds who have severe behavior problems such that they present a physical danger to the other children in the classroom (think, poking eyes with pencils-- yes this happens).  Without parent cooperation (and even with parent cooperation!), there is only so much a public school can do to help a child in the school setting, at the preschool age.  Preschool is not compulsory in DC nor does any preschooler attend as a matter of right.  If a preschooler's presence in a classroom is creating a situation where the other preschoolers' safety is at risk, that preschooler should not be permitted to attend school.  Of course it is not a preschooler's fault he or she has these problems.  But I don't look at the suspension/expulsion as a form punishment.  I see it as a way to remove a dangerous situation from a classroom and provide an environment where it is safe for the other children to learn.  Having an out-of-control and violent student in a classroom isn't helping anyone.[/quote]
