Just because the charter school you’re at hasn’t weeded out your kid doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. I am telling you in no uncertain terms that it does.
hahah wool!

Well then we just got super lucky. I just asked my kids if they knew of anyone who got kicked out Connect when they were there for a combined 11 years.

1 kid got expelled for setting a tree on fire. 1 kid got expelled for writing the N word on a locker. One kid got kicked out for stealing a girl's cell phone and threw it on the roof of the school, but got let back in 2 years later.

There were 4 grade 8 kids last year that aren't at Connect for Grade 9 this year. 3 of them got into the Stem Jr High so they are guaranteed a spot for Stem High School next year. 1 of them moved to Ottawa.

Also Stem High School is new where they had their 1st Grade 12 graduating class last June. and my son does not know of anyone being kicked out the past 2 years for 'not meeting' their standards or goals.....

I'm glad we are privileged.... lol

Oh my son got suspended twice from Connect for pushing, 2 days and for fighting, 4 days. and they never kicked him out. I guess roughhousing is up to their standards

Your anecdotal stories would be better if you actually taught at a Charter school. The kids who got 'kicked' out what were their reasons? for being a visible minority? not buying enough gift cards or meat? their address was in the hood? lol
