Depending on where you are, you have to commit an adult-level felony to be kicked out of public school. I'm not discussing the teenage girl with 3 kids and another on the way, I'm talking about kids that are really psychopaths.
There is a story I'd like to share with you. There was a bit of "misunderstanding" between two students. Words went back and forth. While many would move on, or maybe do a little fighting, this particular student shoved the other student to the ground then jammed the pointed end of an umbrella through the grounded kid's eye.
Something tells me the umbrella-wielder didn't end up being an executive in nascent company. I could be wrong, but just thinking that's unlikely.
