why am I saying this? we pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for having access to this kind of environment. if there is a kid who is fucking up everyone else, the “everyone else” should not have to suffer through it. I would pay double what I pay now for this priviledge for my kid. so yes, 100%, more expelling and more discipline is needed
there is a lot of parents that have money to pay for private education for their kids and there is also a lot of those kids that are fuckups.
if you mean failure of the parents - you are 100% - complete failure of the parents.
If you want to improve schools quickly, expelling problem kids is the easiest way to do it. But that would cause consequences to the expelled kids, as well as society.
"Your kids should be stuck with people who ruin their lives because criminals are" is also terrible.
The correct response is moving problem kids to problem schools, then to disciplinary schools, and if necessary to juvy.
Put people where they belong, with the people they belong with.
Otherwise the people stuck with the trash will leave (and maybe that's okay in the end)

I've been following the topic for a while as a minority and I worry about this as well as cops in our schools continuously raising the specter of violence and school shootings raising the real concern of violence.
It doesn't feel like expelling students has reduced violence or improved the quality of the day to day when I see the tracking of these issues.
In a perfect world, most of those problem children would be mentored correctly in regular schools and given a path to a better adult life, and therefore not create a future "problem adult".
In practice, it doesn't seem to work like that, and I agree, "problem children" do cause frictions and disruptions and worse for other children at regular schools.
