CBE has some goals on their website which include but aren't limited to:
- Be technologically fluent, able to use digital tools critically, ethically and safely.
- Understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in local, national, and international contexts.
- Make lifestyle choices based upon healthy attitudes and actions, and be able to assume responsibility for personal well-being.
- Be able to lead and follow, as appropriate, and to develop and maintain positive relationships with other individuals and groups in order to manage conflict and to reach consensus in the pursuit of common goals.
- Each student will demonstrate good character, act morally with wisdom, and balance individual concerns with the rights and needs of others.
I think all of those are relevant, the students being suspended may or may not be a good way to teach all or some of those things, and it shows that schools are definitely NOT just places that teach academics, nor should they be.
