"Experts" wrong again. And YOUR children will suffer!-----Study on school suspensions highlights educationists’ misplaced priorities

Study on school suspensions highlights educationists’ misplaced priorities
"...The number is more important than the severity, for the key is the actual removal of the disruptive student. 
...Disruptive students can (negatively) affect the learning environment of a class! 
They actually need studies for this. 
...Teachers are more concerned about getting a disruptive student out of their class so they can teach (and the majority of the class can learn) than they are about the bad apple’s punishment. 
Unfortunately, over the years this has become more difficult as emphasis has focused on things like “least restrictive environment,” “restorative justice” and the like. 
The onus is on the alleged “rights” of disruptive students over those who want to learn.
Teachers must go out of their way to discover what ails the misbehaved, become a social worker, talk it out and come up with solutions. 
And in the meantime, don’t forget about the other 30 other students in the class to whom you have to teach!..Read all!
