Expulsion Notification
Scott L wrote:
Over the weekend, at a neighborhood party, I learned that 4 of DD's classmates had been suspended, and maybe expelled for smoking pot in the boys' room (during the last class period!). If such a thing happened in your kid's school, would you expect some kind of notification from the principal alerting you to what had happened? (This is 7th grade, by the way). DD said it's been the talk of the school, among her classmates. I guess I'd like to have heard something from the administration, not from a parent whose kid happened to mention something. Scott DD 12 and DS 10 What kind of notification would you want? Name and addresses? Or, just that 4 anonymous children were suspended for serious infractions of school policy? I don't think the first is reasonable under any circumstances and is probably illegal under most. Smoking pot in the boy's room? Well, even if it's rare in the school, I don't think it's necessary to notify everyone. The cases where I think it is necessary is when an incident places innocent children in danger. E.g. guns or other weapons. I can think of two incidents where this happened. The first was at a small private school in the country. Two hunters were hunting in field near the school and the children were scared by the gun fire. The hunters didn't realize that they were near a small school. The police were called and they were told to move on. All parents were notified of the details the same day. At a public school two boys were arrested for shooting paint balls at the cafeteria windows. Again we were notified the same day. /dan |
