The data are clear that expulsions and suspensions are predictors for dropping out of school. Once a student has dropped out of school, they are less likely to move out of the community, are less likely to have well paying jobs and are more likely to be a drain on the welfare and criminal justice system. The data indicate that a male dropout is three times as likely to be incarcerated in his lifetime as a high school graduate. Anyone who advocates that students be expelled from an educational system is actually advocating a drain on community resources. Be careful what you wish for.
