Should immature teens be kicked out of school if they won't do their work, but choose to behave silly instead?

Yes they should, if they don't value their education then they should learn the hard way what it's like to try and make their way in the world with no education at all. I have no tolerance for those kind of people that don't want to work hard and learn but then come to this site and post questions like "How can a sixteen year-old get rich fast?". Honestly I just saw that question right before this one and it's completely pathetic.

I think it depends on what age they are.  If they aren't pretty well grown and feel the teacher is wrong, they should hold their tongue, tell their parent, and let the parent do the yelling.

absolutely... they shouldn't be abused though.. I think it is so rude to have it going off durring school but I also feel you do need it for an emergency!

Not on school grounds unless you want to get into trouble.  And parents also seem to be against that sorta stuff too.

If people feel violated on this site, then they can always choose to not come to this site.  Or, they can go back to High School and get a real diploma instead of just being a Drop Out!!!  I wonder how peoples parents feel when their kids drop out of high school?  Just curious.  I bet it &ucks to not be able to brag about your kid graduating or making good grades in school.  Instead, you have to hide and listen to everyone else brag about their kids.  That has to &uck.  Man ... I can't imagine the embarassment.\n\nAnd .. Besides that we have a name  for those types of people (that like to report others) ... they are called the REPORT NAZIS.

YES!!!\nAnd it was not my doing :) I was not at fault ! lol had to say it. But really. i have , My daughter had stopped going to school.. well Thye aressted me instead. there 3 days.. That was soooo wrong, I paid fines and she still quit school I sent her to Job corp. SHe got her ged, But I still had the fines. I think that is soooo wrong. I love her but, sometimes they should make the child responsible too.. I mean, c'mon. I could send her, and she leave on the bus, she leaves the school yard.... How is that my fault?

Okay, look.   Call the parents...the answer of answers...right?  No.   Of coure that is has to happen becuase this is the policy of evey school I have ever heard of.  Call the couselour, kick the kid out, schedule change, blah, blah, blah, blah.  \n\nFirst:  people are right....it cannot be taken seriously.  It is a 15 year-old kid...how can a fifteen year-old damage a healthy adult's self-esteem?  This cannot happen or you friend is going to have  ashort career.\n\nSecond:  there is a chance the student and teacher simply are so close or so far apart in their personalities there is really no hope for reconciliation...if this is the case, then it it the Admin's responsibility to change the individual's class...even though the classroom teacher should be a professional and be able to deal with te student regardless.\n\nFinally, it sounds like your friend and this student need to come to some sort of understanding.  Whether it is through mediation with a couselor or just a conversation between parent (or not) your friend and the student and try and find out the real issue.\n\nKids act crazy because one of their needs are not being met...they act out because they need something...they are missing something and they are desparately trying to get that need filled...the teacher needs to try to understand the student and try to help the student appropriately fill this need.  Do not misinterperet this as bending to the student, but understanding goes a long way.\n\nIf the student begins to understand the teacher cares for them even though the teacher does not let them get away with anything...always be firm and fair (being fair is often the hard part).  Students will blow up once in a while, but if they know you will not bend, but they also know you do care for them...this makes all the difference...it is also the hard way...\n\nIt is easy to throw away troubled kids...don't worry about it...they are used to it becuase that is what everyone does to them...your friend needs to consider if she will be everyone else or take the high road...even if it doesn't work...the effort was made and the honor of the teaching profession (as damaged as it is) is honored by the effort.

shouldn't you be studying instead of trying to get expelled?

sorry, but i have to agree with your parents. I mean in a perfect world you shouldnt be punished, but us teens lie all the time about what part or parts of their instructions we heard. Stuff like that happens all the time to me. Besides if you think you have it bad, I once got beat by my parents when i got a 3.5gpa, so if you want to know whether something is worth complaining about, compare it to that.

This is a very good question. Every time I walk through my child's school, there are a couple teachers that I just want to slap. As for the comment made by, DID I GET ADOPTED, Teachers are suppose to set an example. I have know doubt that there are days and kids that can try their nerves, but this is a part of life, and teaching your classroom how to act and behave badly is just plain wrong! No matter what job you have I have always believed that if the heat is too hot in the kitchen, get out!!!

I don't know what compells youngsters to do it, but if they continue it into adulthood it is because they didn't have a momma like mine that would have slapped them in the back of the head and said STOP THAT BEFORE I KNOCK YOU INTO NEXT WEEK!

Well I'm sure that a lot of these people are going to tell what a mistake it is to drop out of school. I'm not! I encourage it for you. The reason being, that only a Moron would even consider such a thing. I sure can't see wasting hard earned tax dollars on a moron. So start flipping dem burgers and find you a place out at Barney's trailor park  and have a nice life.

I wonder why teenage vandals are allowed out in the week by their parents. Don't they have homework to do? When I was at school I did at least 2 hours homework every night, and wasn't allowed out on a 'school day'. I think the blame lies squarely at the feet of the parents of these morons for not raising their children to value education as a way out of poverty and ignorance.

Talk with your parents about this, and perhaps the schools guidance councellor.  The children there seem quite unruly and I think what you describe only happens when there is no adult supervision around.  They may have no clue it's going on ... except for the broken items you mention.  You need to let adults know there's a problem .. start with your own parents and follow their guidance.
