I taught for a few years at a private school. And that’s what happened there, too. It made for a pleasant place to teach, and to learn.
Expelled kids ended up at some public school somewhere. But where does such a kid go if there are no longer any public schools?
And here’s a related problem: A private school that takes tax dollars will find there are rules associated with that money. One of the rules might make it very difficult to expel a disruptive student. Due process, and all that.
An old saying that might apply:
“If you take the king’s coin, you are the king’s servant.”
Yes, you are correct. There is no perfect solution
I suppose my answer is, yes, there is no avoiding it - 5%-10% of kids will be for the streets and for police to manage.
but how is that ultimately any different from our present situation?
On the other hand, the large majority remaining will thrive, be uplifted to a better future, and become more stable and functional members of society
