Soooooo . . . I am currently rss-ing many of your posts into our site (www.ikwiki.org). If you object, just let me know (susan@innerkids.org) and I'll delete the feed.<BR/><BR/>Please keep writing!

Sometimes they're thicker on me than spines on a cactus. But someone needs to give them an ear. And it's usually someone whom they can trust not to feed them a line of crap or to be put off by them. It's a great complement."Ms. Cornelius"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16970201479637588558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-39803572446546216942007-03-03T11:18:00.000-06:002007-03-03T11:18:00.000-06:00I don't precisely know...a lot of it depends on wh...I don't precisely know...a lot of it depends on why they got expelled. A few, who were expelled for drugs, ended up spending lots of time in court, and then in detention facilities. Some run the streets. Others end up in private schools or home schooled. <BR/><BR/>I don't think expelling a kid is a solution to a problem. I've seen districts with alternative programs for these kids who just can't function in a normal school setting. They cost money, however, something taxpayers are loath to pay.Mrs. Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283080212189118357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-67245241691751746052007-03-03T09:47:00.000-06:002007-03-03T09:47:00.000-06:00What happens to kids that get expelled from your s...What happens to kids that get expelled from your school?<BR/><BR/>Yellow RoseYellow rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243886894810827837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-8706692943582370672007-03-03T08:40:00.000-06:002007-03-03T08:40:00.000-06:00The best part about working with the bad kids is t...The best part about working with the bad kids is that you get to actually watch them grow exponentionally when you can connect with them and get them to focus on the task at hand.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes that's more rewarding than teaching the robotic clone-like "good" kids.<BR/><BR/>*Grin*leesepeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407240898240326253noreply@blogger.com
