In Cincinnati, Kids are Being Thrown Out of Kindergarden as Part of The Discipline Dilemma
![]()
Should kindergarden children be expelled from school if they act up? Some education administrators of Cincinnati schools think they should.
This issue is the same whether it be 5 year olds or high school students, as in New York City. Under the new rules of discipline, kids who do not act appropriately in class can be thrown into "New Beginnings" schools, where they learn....what? We do not know what these kids are learning, nor do we have any information on how they "get out" of the placement and return to their schools. What happens to a child's rights once they are "convicted" of wrong-doing? Who decides what this wrong-doing was, and who proves that the child needs to be removed? Who is counseling these kids to remove the anger and frustration they may have felt as they commit the rebellious acts, if indeed they did? The story of Timmy shows just how far a Principal, District Superintendent and Special Education officials will go to get rid of a child that is troublesome because they have special needs the school does not want to supply. How are these issues being addressed under the new discipline program? |
