| Message | From experience, this does not work. Maladjusted pupils usually have trouble at home, and excluding / expelling them is the worst thing to do. We need school counsellors, small classes with assistants who can individually look after troubled pupils, and physical compulsion where necessary. A wide range of options for complex situations. |
