IF expelled: big trouble for mom n'pop.. a workin 24/7 to buy the new UAV and leave little Attila to play with his friends with shaved heads. They DON'T want to have to keep track of Attila during incarceration hours. So: MAKE them be responsible. [Hah..]
Screw beating them into a surliness just like their parents' - just place the correctional training exactly where the Farmily Valuez Coalition for a Homeogenized Murica wants them:
in the fucking homes which breed uncivilized (and by school-time, uncivilizable) unter-Nazis, as often end up as CIEIOS: doing much Larger mischief, endlessly.. (What, you say that these folks can't afford the time to train-up their spawn -- at least one of them -- at $7/hr X2?) Another thread, that.
Beat them - and you just make it permanent. Civilize them, even if you must look that up in the dictionary and then read about twenty books.. which you skipped to take your Consuming-101 class.
My Rx.
