From September every uk school has to have in place a plan for pupils that are excluded for more than 5 days.

The pupils have to be educated fulltime at another place for the duration of the exclusion.

It has been suggested that local schopols may have an informal agreement between them but naturally headteachers are not keen. It has great cost implications.

Very rural school will not have that option so there will be major problems.

Polotitions with their great ideas

How much simpler it was in the old days.

When will they ever learn.

The whole Politically Corrected thing is headed for big time disaster.
If the dwindling economic circumstances dont get it
the over reaction will.
They just dont twig that they cannot impose their ideals.
They have had some success due to weak resistence.
Its all a neurotic cover up for mentally ill people to gain some measure of security and stave off their inferiority complexes.But the real world doesnt operate like that.
Some people are in a right tizzy.
Real stress merchants

As you say Batfinch it was so much easier in the old days. For someone to be expelled or suspended as it was known you had to have done something pretty major. With the abolition of the cane there is little alternative to exclusion. Be disruptive and get rewarded with time off school - brilliant. So long and drawn out - the cane was over in 5 or 10 mins with the after effects serving as a useful reminder for a few days after.
Progress eh ? I rest my case.
