Reply #50: Actually, I am a teacher

[ProdigalJunkMail]

and no, I would not. I know this girl (I do not teach in her school) and she is no threat to anyone. The point is here that she is an individual and should be treated as one and not part of some larger schema that seems to define all kids today. There should have been other options available than expulsion. Part of being a teacher is learning a little about the kids you teach...helps you connect better and therefor teach better IMO.

Also, expelling her protects no one. Securing a school is almost impossible without post guards at every entrance and stopping every student that comes in. Heck, we have kids from other schools show up here just about every day...if she had intended to hurt someone, this would not have stopped her.
