I think that it would be okay for a Principal/Headmaster to expel a student from a school if they are continuously fighting, selling test answers to another student, or if they are selling drugs to another person. All of these reasons are in someway or another influencing other kids to engage in a very negative manner. Bringing other people down is probably my biggest irritation in schools. For me school should be a safe place, one where a student shouldn't have to worry about getting hurt or being peer pressured into some situation where their success in life becomes endangered. Some facility members in schools I’ve been in aren't paying enough attention to what's going on exactly and two of my best friends have died due to that neglect. I've even suffered because of that as well. I would rather have a kid expelled from a school then have one of my siblings fall into cheating, fighting, or drugs. If I was doing these things I would expect to be expelled because I know that I was raised a whole lot better than that.
I believe that Houlden has been expelled from so many schools because he just doesn't care. He also has this “I’m so bad-ass and no one can top that” kind of thing that he puts out to the other people around him so no one wants to even help him through anything. Houlden just feeds people the crap they want to hear so he can leave and do whatever he wants to do. It almost seems to me like he is trying to prove everyone right that he can't do it so people will get off his back. Those that know better are trying to help him but he is deluding himself so hard into believing he isn't worth it so he doesn't have to see or accept the reality that he is only hurting himself in the end. I don't think he realizes that he is affecting other people around him and their success. I don't even think he realizes that if he keeps it up he is gonna fail so badly that he won't ever have the chance at a wonderful life. It almost seems to me like he likes to get into trouble as well. Intended or not that is what he is doing.
Holding has a lot of things going on in his life right now. Some he brought upon himself I believe. His sarcasm his getting him into trouble, He uses a lot of thinking errors, and I think he doesn't know how to get attention in an appropriate manner so he causes trouble to get that. Holding is also very lazy in a way. I mean you really have to try to fail if you think about it. I’m not too sure on his home life but I’d bet that his parents are like those rick stuck up don't notice you and or have time for you kind of parents you read about in books or see in movies. Don't get me wrong I think that he is a very bright, intelligent person he just acts stupid so he won't have to work as hard. I honestly believe that if knew how to get the attention in which he is seeking in a positive manner without having to work hard he'd do it. Unless it's writing, which isn't very hard to do, he half-asses everything.

I agree with you liberal view on the expelling of students. If they are hurting anyone beside themselves I believe they should be removed from the school. I was interested in you views on why Holden is the way he is. I also agree that he is very smart but takes the easy way out of life. Just watch spelling and run on sentences. This was a good essay!
I agree with this a lot because I thought the same resons why they should expel. I think that when expained about Holden is true. I think that is a good way to to explain how being expelled is sometimes a good thing because it affects other people and if they didn't do anything about it, they will keep making people's lives hell!
I agree on that some kids should be expelled for continuously causing problems or bringing other people down. We should also come up with bigger consequences if it keeps happening over and over. But yea you did great on this paper.
I agree with your views on when it is okay to be kicked out of a school. I would also agree that he has some stuff going on, and he brought some of it on. Clear opinion and wording, good job.
I agree that kids should be expelled from school if they are bringing other kids down. That is a huge issue if one kid is influencing other kids to do bad stuff. This is really good.
