117. What happened to age-appropriate discipline?
Too many unanswered questions. Given the scant details:

Expulsion at 6 seems to be severe for a behavioral issue that I think was correctable with parent and school intervention.

The other disturbing aspect is all the attention given to negative behavior. Why are security guards needed for behavioral issues? Where was a school psychologist? Not enough of them, eh?

What would have been appropriate punishment for a kid in first grade for only 3-4 months? Taser? Lethal injection?
