Expelled? Why?

I'm thinking about some of the students I teach...Some are committing an offence at least two or three times a day per day..and can we get rid of them?

So he could send his son to a state school..he'd probably not be expelled that easily from one of the many such establishments available.

I think that is down to the L.E.A but i also think that is changing very soon
giving more power to head teachers

I don't know, but you should be able to. If not, it sends out the wrong message that people can do what the hell they like and get away with it; and that lesson is being taught at such an impressionable age.

It's no wonder there is so little respect for authority from the younger generation.

Now that is a bit mad. The kid cant stop being in trouble it seems and everyone has probably had enough, especially if he is disturbing others from working too.
I hope he doesnt get back in.

Money money money, I bet he gets in next term.

My guess is that IF he gets back in it won't be money that does it. More likely people clamouring for the poor little soul to be given (yet) another last chance.

I believe his case is that the school is finding an excuse to throw him out to shore up their grades, which is possibly true (but good luck proving it). But presumably in a private school environment you have to put up with that sort of thing - they're in it as a business after all.

Getting expelled from public school isn't all bad of course - many of our notable historical figures started off being given the boot, although amazingly enough the internet comes up empty handed on a 'Famous Public School Expulsions' list, so I shall have to resort to steam-powered paper research.

Richard Branson was kicked out of Stowe, although they conveniently forget to mention this in any of their publicity.

For about the third time in the past few days, it seems like a judge has shown some real common sense.

This bit amazed me though:

...had been arrested aged just 13 for being drunk and disorderly. As he was detained he verbally abused a police officer, swearing at him and calling him an "idiot".

And yet Daddy seems to think it's the school that believes itself to be above the law!

If he were my son, I would give him a bloody good slap.

A kid with a huge mount of money who only got Expelled ones will be fine.

From what I saw on the news last night, father and son are both in need of a good slap. It was one of those TV moments where you stand open-mouthed and speechless in amazement that such people actually exist.

Well I would be willing to bet that most Kids will break one rule or another, mainly misdemenors a good 100 times a term, Out of school behavior should not reflect on his schooling, unless of course they are of major consequence, I hardly call an incident of D & D major. The lad obviously needs extra guidence somewhere, an theres no doubt some of that needs to come from the home. Exclusion is not allways the answer.
Prince Harry admitted smoking pot but wasnt ejected from Eton. Kids make mistakes, some more than others, and most kids will do something like smoke somthing or drink something or some other more serious mistake, its up to the adults including the parents to offer extra guidance when its nessecary.

IMHO Private school sucks anyway, generally because many of the pupils suffer delusions of grandure in a severe manner as they believe themselves to be above regular schools and kids, and if a less fortunate kid attains a place in a private school they often will make it hell for them. However regualr schools are apauling in their ciriculum and teaching methods. I am totally appauled at the level at which i feel my children are at having put them into mainstream school all their life, to me they have been taught very poorly, I should have known this I supose as my brother is also very inteligent but accademically backwards, and that is down to the way mainstream schools work. My eldest child has just started seniors and from my experience he is currently accademically ready to enter juniors. Thats about the difference between private and mainstream, mainstream being about four years backwards.

Still the worse thing you can do is send your child to a mainsteamn school after them being in the private sector, that is potentially able to totally destroy their future accademic achievement

IMO he should have been, and I can't think why he wasn't. Maybe it's because of who he is...?
