Kids
who are expelled from school are losing out on an education according to school
inspectors.
But
what do you think should be done with naughty school kids?
Does
being expelled mean they are rewarded, by getting to watch TV or play football all day?
Or do
you think kids who are expelled would prefer to be back at school?
How
many chances should naughty kids be given before being expelled?
And
should they be allowed back at school?
Whatever
you think, e-mail and let us know.
Your Comments
I
think kids who get expelled love missing school at first, but then get bored and miss
their friends and school.

What
kind of punishment is missing school? It might even encourage kids who are unhappy at
school to be bad. Milly, 13, London
I
think that all the naughty children should be put into a special school to help them learn
how to calm down. Children should go to school even if they are naughty and not letting
them into a school is not doing their education any good.

I
think kids who are naughty shouldn't get expelled, cos it's giving in to them. They don't
want to be in school, and teachers are letting them out, while everyone who works well and
behave go unrewarded.

There
is no point trying to get expelled kids back in to class. We have lots of people like that
at my school and they just get in to more problems and disrupt our lessons. There should
be a place for expelled kids to learn, but to be honest, most of them don't want to learn
anyway.

Being
expelled means you can watch TV and play games all day, which is a reward. I think there
should be a different school specially for expelled pupils because although they have been
naughty it doesn't mean they have to lose out on education!
Laurel, 14, Birkhill
They
should sort their problems and stop causing trouble, it doesn't help anyone, least of all
them.
Claudine, 15, Wiltshire
I
think they should be given all the work to do at home until they find a new school.
Louise, 15, Mansfield
I
know quite a few people who have been expelled form school and they've often just given up
on their education altogether. I think expulsion should be the last action to be taken
against a pupil. Pupils who are expelled should be found a new school as soon as possible
or be given a tutor.
Jay, 15, Belfast
It's
not fair on the kids who want to work and do well if other kids mess about, they think
they're being cool but they're actually being immature. I think they should only get one
chance and that's it or everyone will fall behind.
Saz, 12, Herts
I
think expelled kids should get other chances. In Leicester they just put you in another
school. (Last chance basically). Also suspending kids for dumb reasons such as failure to
do homework is stupid. If it disrupts the class work they're doing in THAT class then why
suspend them and disrupt all their other class work?
Sian, 13, Leicester
They
should be expelled because it affects the good kids.
Ellie, 10, Ashford
I
don't really see expulsion as a punishment, if the child is being naughty at school they
obviously don't like it there, so banning them from school? What crazy person thought up
that idea? I don't have a clue what they are supposed to do though, that is why there are
clever Governments to think up better ideas than banning someone from school!!
Becky, 10, Oswestry
In
our school, detention's the worst you get most of the time. I don't know of anyone who's
been expelled or even suspended. But then I don't think anyone's deserved to be either.
Louise, 14, Surrey
We're
too soft with kids these days. Naughty kids are usually the ones who hate school and being
expelled is a treat and they don't really care.
David, 13, Cardiff
I
think naughty kids should not be expelled but to be put into a special school for as long
as they need to TRY to change their ways and learn how to behave in a normal working
environment also I think that they should receive counselling.
Danielle, 13, Liverpool
I
think most kids who are unruly tend to come from disadvantaged homes. As a result the
child will look for attention which it will get by being unruly. What the solution to this
problem is, I don't really know but I think I think these kids are a disruption to other
pupils and this cannot be allowed to happen.
Chris, 13, Newbridge
I
think that if a kid is expelled, they should receive counselling on 'how to become a
better pupil'. During that time, they should also be receiving some kind of education i.e.
maths, english. Then school life may commence peacefully, although they might be better
off in a different school.
Gilly, 12, Harrow
There
should be a special place for expelled kids.
Neil, 10, Winchfield
I
think they should let this girl back into the school as she will not be learning and will
get bored, so she will lose out if she is not allowed back to school.
Natalie, 15, Farnborough
I
have been expelled loads of times and I really didn't think that it helps. I got really
bored and didn't learn anything. I think they should find another form of punishment.
Hollie, 15, Ascot
I
think it's a good idea. I was excluded for a week last year and learnt my lesson.
Alex, 13, Cove
I
don't think expulsion is enough. I think that they get bored and it doesn't help.
Paul, 15, Fleet
I
think it's a really good idea to expel people - as it will teach them not to be naughty.
Trevor, 11, Surrey
I
think that there should be another way of punishment. Expelling people doesn't teach them
anything.
Simon, 12, Edinburgh
I
think that everything they value should be taken away from them. That will teach 'em
Jade, 10, Thornton Heath
I
think naughty kids should be sent to a temporary army based school until they sort
themselves out.
Becca, 13, Carlisle
They
should go to special schools where they can learn with kids like themselves instead of
spoiling it for the rest of us. But they shouldn't misbehave in the first place, they
should take some responsibility for their own education.
Rachel, 14, Notts
I
think kids who are expelled should be set homework so that they don't waste time or fall
behind.
