I appreciate your responding to my post. Unfortunately I don't make out what your response is trying to say.

The comment about parents becoming upset when their children are disciplined. That's not fair. What I am asking is that the procedure be lawful, in accordance with the rights afforded each American under the Bill of Rights and Constitution. When schools are allowed to circumvent basic, fundamental rights of citizens, then they need to be reined in.
The rest of my comment addresses what I perceive is wrong with the public school's approach to the education process. When the only consideration is how to look better on reports, then the entire point is missed. Education is a process, not some finite approach. It is individual in its presentation by the instructor and its perception by the the student. This has never been successfully addressed by the public schools and if the ability to fail is taken away, it will doom the system to failure. Failure is not the boogey-man it's made out to be. It can also give the student a chance to try again.
