One of the reasons the public education system in the United States today is a joke. If the kid is a disrupter, boot him out of the school.

Sigh. If only it were that easy. The kid in question has an IEP which means he is treated as if he is handicapped. Kicking him out of school is legally next to impossible. That said, my school has successfully given long-term suspensions to kids, but for very much worse offenses—like, molesting kindergarteners. But basically that requires the cooperation of the parents.

The school also feels that two or three days of in-school suspension—isolated from their peers, required to do school work, etc. is more of a punishment than staying at home and watching TV.
