Unruly students can face expulsion for their bad behavior. But typically expulsion is thought of as a punishment for teens.
Schools today are expelling preschoolers as well and the problem is growing. But a new law in Illinois will prevent the youngest kids from getting kicked out of class.
Governor Rauner signed the bill this morning. Preschools that get state money can no longer kick kids out of school, if they don't follow very specific rules to do so. With the bill, expulsion needs to be a last resort.
In Illinois, nearly three preschoolers are expelled for every 1,000 enrolled. It's what's being called by some the pre-school to prison pipeline. ...
The legislation signed today by Gov. Rauner makes it harder for schools that get state funding to just kick kids out of class.
Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
