The moment you abandon any attempt to correct the behavior you guarantee they are “lost” to society.

The other kids will have to suffer so the misbehaving kids can be saved, but that's a sacrifice we're willing to make!

Yes, which is why it’s a last resort, because some kids are lost either way.

And kicking them out of school isn’t yet abandoning them. They can be put into a vocational school: maybe some kids misbehave because they can’t sit still, but would behave and be happier following a simple job that involves moving.

They can be just fine to me.

I still live in my hometown, and while I was never bullied, a bully a year or so above me killed himself in his late 20s.

lol lmao was my reaction xD
