Reply #3: In my 8 years in Catholic school, underachievers were not

thrown out. We had one poor guy I used to help tutor in 8th grade who was still struggling to read on an 8th grade level.
Only one student was expelled, and that was for violent behavior.

There was never any feeling of concern over a school's 'reputation', but only for education and safety.

But then again, that was in the 1960s, when nuns taught at the schools, which insanely reduced expenses. I imagine nowadays
that costs make reputation important.

I got an outstanding education, by the way. There was never any interruption of class by disrespectful students. Students
did their homework. So simple, we just came there to learn. Funny how well that works.
