Should we expel students with mental helath issues?

Question

please give reasons why

Answer 1

No of course not!
And why is this question in the LGBT section?
Are you trying to say something....

Answer 2

Absolutely not. If educators are unwilling, unable, and untrained to educate students with mental health issues as well as students without these issues, then there is a tremendous problem with how the system works. We need legislation to mandate more training for educators to learn how to understand these students and how to help them. At this point, most educators do not understand students with Explostive Behavior Disorder or those otherwise Emotionally Disturbed. Instead, they judge them for not being like everyone else, they label them as troublemakers, and they do not give them a real chance to improve.

I like how some schools have classes like Adaptive Behavior that teach social skills to these kids who did not otherwise learn them. This takes these students out of the general population (which is only done when necessary to protect the other students) and puts them in a small class where there is much more one-on-one attention. I have seen firsthand how this can actually turn some of these children around and help them develop into normal, healthy adults who are productive members of society. If these students had instead been expelled, outcast, unwanted, think what they would do for society then.

We cannot turn our backs on those needing an education. Is it fair to take a child who was sexually molested from birth to age 9 before authorities caught his father and say you are unworthy of an education because of what your father did to you? NO! Of course it's not fair. How can we justify expelling this student because the years of abuse from his own father caused him to be emotionally disturbed? Instead, we need to teach him...and I don't just mean academics. Let him know that he can break the cycle of abuse and that he is indeed a worthwhile human being. He does not have to become like his father. He can rise above and succeed in life if he just gives life a chance, but this can only happen if teachers will give him a chance.

To directly answer your question:
Expel--NO
Separate from the general population if they are at risk--YES
No matter what, we need to educate these students because they are going to grow up and what are they going to become without an education.

Should we decide who is and who isn't worth teaching and giving hope of a better life?

Answer 3

Not at all. Mental health issues can mean depression, schizophrenia, mental retardation... So many things. Most of these things are treatable and curable, and these issues don't affect a person's intellect...But of course, cases like mental retardation requires extra attention in classrooms - but not to expel them! Some may obviously need separate classes, but not for students who are simply depressed or anxious. Try expelling the trouble-makers who don't want to be there.

Answer 4

Expel is the wrong approach. Perhaps they need to be separated from mainstream society, for there own good and the puplics. However, weather they reamain in their own custody or not, they should be monitered and given the counseling and rescources they need. And given whats happend lately, persons with SEVERE mental health issues may need to be dealt with more agressivly

Answer 5

From what you're saying,i think of he could have bi-polar ailment. My suggestion could be to not pass away him and tell him to pass to a physician and which you're keen to help. He needs you and he easily has thoughts for you. in case you pass away him then you particularly could desire to be responsive to which you are going to break him. His very own recommendations f@@ks him... do not permit a man or woman get destroyed on a similar time as you may exchange this. consult from a physician and seek the internet and books. stable success,i wish I helped!

Answer 6

I wonder why is this question sent here....Anyway, of course not. Students with mental health issues should be given help. If we didn't help them and deprive them from education, their condition could become worse.

Answer 7

Hmmm I was going to write something more scathing, but I'm refraining here.

Short answer, no, alienating anyone only makes them worse.

Plus if you did, then someone else becomes undesirable, and then someone else, and next thing you know schools are only for white kids.

Get them help instead of pushing them away and discarding them, because that's probably what caused their problems to begin with.

Answer 8

I think they should put them a special school or something if it is really serious. I mean the shootings in Virginia Tech really explain why. They pose as a threat to other students.

Answer 9

No - they should be given as much education as possible, as much as they want, as much as they can use - every person in the USA should be granted an education.

Answer 10

thats like putting a bandaide on a deep wound
