If I had young children today, I would never allow them to attend public schools, they would be exposed to so many dreadful behaviors.

@Ronettes This plan would lead to some students becoming street kids, aimless without goals. Students expelled do not always end up in another school.

Yes, parents should be the first to raise non- violent children but not all parents can afford private schools either.

Which leads to another issue - why should a private school have to absorb the problem students because the original schools could not handle them?

If you put a jack*ss on a plane and fly across the country to a different location, it will still be a jack*ss getting off the plane.

Well that's the parents' problem -

No one wants their children in school with violent troublemakers, don't forget taxpayers are supporting those schools.

If you can't control your children, society and schoolteachers, etc. should not be expected to.

I learned from this thread that private schools have no troublemakers and no students with bad behaviors.

Fabulous.

Point is to keep our children in a happy, safe learning environment, and out of prison.

Sure they do - but private schools also have the power to expel those students. I went to an excellent public school in the city many years ago. There was a private school across the street that would expel any student that caused a problem and guess where they went then.

If you're not willing to put the money into helping kids stay in school, but are willing to put the money into prisons (sometimes a consequence of kids not staying in school) then there's a disconnect.

Private schools also have the ability to say no to enrolling certain tyes of kids. The public school system has to educate all kids.

I agree, so much bullying, and other issues, not to mention the quality of their "education" is questionable at best.

@BoopOMatic NO. If parente the schools (society, the public, the citizens) should demand standards of non-violence and respect for authority. The schools should be doing this, backed up by upstanding citizens and the law, and then we wouldn't be in this mess we are in.

Violence is learned, but to an extent it is tolerated beginning in children.
