With the way things are going, if I ever have kids there is no way they are going to public school.

You may want to consider home schooling them. The private ones are not any better.

If you can afford it pay for private school. I live in a somewhat small town and we have 2 of them and they are both way better than the public school system. The teachers actually teach, they get religion class, and they expect the parents to be involved!!

It is very sad that if we want our kids to get a good education we have to pay for the public schools with our taxes and then pay for the private school also.

Classic argument "it's the schools fault"

So you agree with the school's position?

What position? All I say is people in general are quick to blame schools for everything. Try being a teacher once. It's a lot harder (and more expensive) then you think.

Try to stay on topic.

Speaking as someone who may or may not have experience in this arena...when you see this type of thing go down with a kid, they are usually a huge PITA and the administration is grasping at straws to deal with them. It is rarely an isolated incident that happens to a model student. I've seen teachers and admin let a good kid walk out the door with a buck knife in their pocket because they are good students doing all the right things and forgot they had it on them after a weekend of hunting. I've also seen the same teachers and admin nail a kid to the wall over a nail clipper with a 1 inch blade on it because he'd been making everyone's lives miserable for months and they finally had something (albeit tenuous) they could use against them to get them out for a while. The kid may be cute, but he's probably been pointing fingers at people and saying "bang" during quiet time and someone finally had enough documentation to do something about it. Most admin are pretty savvy about due process, but data privacy keeps them from telling everyone the whole story.
