StartEdUp PodcastWhen Is It OK To Give Up On A Student?When it comes to expelling a student- when do schools draw the line? If it is our duty to educate a child, are we sending the wrong message to "throw them out" for making a mistake?
But what is the line between a mistake and school threat?
Is it the job of the school to correct the student mistake- or remove them to not affect the student body?
I would love to hear back from you.
