Kinda sad. As a kid I was sent to private religious (Christian) schools decades ago. The schools’ final lesson to me was always expulsion. My parents told me I was going there because the public schools weren’t as good and I’d have better success as an adult with a private school education.
Expulsion was not the lesson the PR sold me as a kid. You do not want your children learning expulsion as a primary-survival tactic!
Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like had I only gone to public schools and had never been expelled, but there’s no use in crying over spilt milk. Just a few more years to go, maybe a decade if I’m lucky, and the nightmare of a fatally-flawed high-school education will finally be over. I got the last laugh though, they didn’t get my kids.
