after the first instance, on being reinstated to return to class, parents meet bi-weekly with student and teacher to ensure the message was received. should a second incident occur, let the parent sit in class with the wayward student to ensure parent understands this is not a racial thing. Third incident, give the wayward student a choice of permanent expulsion for the remainder of the year and regardless of grade status, a return to the same grade in the fall for a whole repetiton of the grade with students who are a year younger. OR 2 weeks in a juvenile detention center. Fourth incident, send them to Boys Town or some similar facility like the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford. Clearly after 3 failed attempts the child needs to be removed to a more stable environment that he or she is in at home. Oh, and no visits from the adults whose influence led to the waywardness. Obviously, if any of the incidents involved weapons, such as guns or knives, or drugs, let the Police and DA take over.
