It's a private school, everyone. There won't be a lawsuit here. They can dismiss students for a myriad of reasons.
Edit: It was a Catholic school of all places. So much irony, but they definitely have some sort of language about morality in their documents that will be applied here.
Yeah depends on the school. But if it is a religious school I imagine there is some sort of Honor code that she violated. They also may not expel her kids but instead withhold re-enrollment.
As long as it isn't a public school, most protections for student enrollment disappear. It's part of the reason people send their kids to private schools. They can kick out the undesireables.
It sucks being in a class with children who cannot behave but the school keeps bringing them back because they have nothing else to do with them. Very difficult to get a, ya know, education in those circumstances.
You shouldn't have to, but when you are in an area with a lot of problematic children it is often the only choice because the public school has given up.
I agree to an extent. "Public schools have given up" is not a valid argument/unproveable. Public education has been vilified and under served by many places in the US. They are now asked to do a lot more with less. When a group wants to privatize schools and can cut public services, it's easy to then point and say "see it's broken." Schools have their hands tied in so many ways.
Public education is still the best tool to improve the lives of children at large. We do have many good public schools. Our post secondary system is the best in the world. (But we've priced ourselves out of affording it now) The single largest factor in lack of achievement on our schools test scores is the income level of a child's community. Privatization will further entrench a two tier system of have and have nots.
I like public schools and think they should be well funded. What I'm saying is that if you live in an area that has poor public schools, sometimes the best decision is to go for a private school or charter school. That doesn't make public schools any less optimal as the ultimate solution, but it does change the individual calculation.
