Here's the clue ~ the schools should NOT be expelling the kids on a pre-approved 1, 2, 3, etc. day suspension for this or that infraction.
Rather, they should institute hard core study hall with batardes in charge!
You check in in the morning and you don't check out until afternoon ~ you need something here's a plastic bottle for you! Go in that room and put it in your bag ~ cap on.
They get to do anything they want but stand up or talk.
That’d be a fate worse than death, or at least close to, if I remember my own mindset correctly.
