The numbers of students suspended has gone down a bit. The numbers hover about 4%. What amuses and baffles me, however, is, aside from the usual reasons like disruptive behaviour and violence, the fact that one school suspended 28 kids for chronic attendance problems. HUH? How is suspending a kid who likes to stay away from school going to be a corrective disciplinary measure? Yeesh!
