Dear verga,

These kids weren’t expelled for dangerous activities. They weren’t expelled at all. There was conflict concerning behavior between school authorities and the parents, and the suggested homeschooling. It appeared to me that the whole thing was a dodge by the schools, because they didn’t really have any cause to take formal action (other than to give them poor grades and maybe an occasional detention, if public schools do that sort of thing) against these kids, and this was a convenient way to be done with them.

There is no evidence that these children did much more than refuse to keep their mouths shut in class, use poor language, etc. They were just poorly-behaved, and didn’t have an attitude oriented toward learning, not dangerous.

They eventually left our homeschooling community, but not because anyone told them to go. I observed these kids a couple or so times a week. We had a modest co-op and I was coach of the chess club, and took my kids to other activities. These kids were annoying, often loud, crass, stupid and often ill-mannered. However, we parents conferred and all agreed, there wasn't much of any basis to throw them out of the co-op. They certainly weren't dangerous. They just didn’t fit in with the homeschooled kids.

Exactly the point I was making.

These kids were not expelled. It was suggested that the parents look into homeschooling. It was the parents choice, until the kids were so bad that it wasn't their choice
