Have you noticed that these school shootings hardly take place in private schools?

Nor in charter, magnet or boarding schools. What do they do differently?

Many different reasons, to be sure.

A few:

Students with severe disciplinary issues are [i]generally[/i] not either accepted or are expelled.

Bullying is [i]generally[/i] less of an issue.

Drugs are less of an issue, [i]generally[/i].

Parents are spending money so they are more likely, [i]generally[/i], to take a greater interest in how a kids is doing academically.

Academic probation insures that kids with learning issues either are given additional help (or parents may get private tutoring, too) or, [i]generally[/i], the ones who are lazy or really badly disinterested in learning aren't going to be at the school very long.
