Hey Kemble, we did get a kid suspended (but only for a few weeks) last year for punching a teacher in the stomache with (apparently) no provocation.
But its never for good: the parents ought to be told: here your son/daughter is a danger to others: homeschool him/her!

Kemble,

In the local high school kids have been suspended for a couple different things the last couple of years. One because he turned off the gas to the chem lab outside, then opened all the valves in the lab while nobody was watching. Later he turned it back on outside. Luckily the "sanitation engineer" <g> smelled the gas when he got in an hour or two before anyone else, tracked down the source, turned it off and opened all the doors and windows. A spark in the chem lab would have destroyed several classrooms. Another got the boot for filling a soda bottle with a mixture of chemicals that could potentially explode and leaving it on a bus. Several mailboxes in the area had been blown up the same way a few days earlier. Both of these "students" were also prosecuted. Several students have been suspended for bringing knives to school. It is a state law that requires suspension for bringing weapons to school. Knives longer than 3 inches (I think) qualify. One girl brought a paring knife in her lunch to cut an apple or something and got suspended because the law allows no wiggle room for common sense.
