Some charter schools admit sending students back to public schools. How they "counsel out" kids.

1. Ah yes.

Private schools do this all the time; problem students simply disappear.

The private elementary school I went to "counseled out" a new student once. He was a smart aleck, talked back to the teacher (I remember him once telling her "you're off your rock&quot and disobeyed the teacher. He lasted one week. One day he just wasn't there anymore; and the teacher always changed the subject whenever we asked about him. I assume he was counseled out.

This is why it is not reasonable to expect the real public schools to compete with schools that have the advantage of being able to counsel out the troublemakers.
