A truly bizarre situation.

A student who poses a danger to others has no place in the school. Here in England we have special schools called Pupil Referral Units (PRU) where children, mostly but but not only boys, who have severe behaviour problems can be sent where the teaching staff are specially trained and supported to attempt to correct the child’s behaviour and if that’s not possible contain them whilst the state has a duty to provide them with an education. I know someone who worked in one for a while and it’s challenging work but it means that the absolute worst behaving pupils don’t fuck op the education of the normal well-behaved children and most importantly don’t pose a risk to them.

I know one boy who got sent to a PRU for a year and came back a model student and went on to do fairly well for himself, so it can work.
