Not only that, if they suspend him how can he “learn”?
“if they suspend him how can he “learn”?”
He’ll learn. It just won’t be the ABC’s. It will be an opportunity to learn what happens when you choose consequences that are inconsistent with the law and what an intelligent person does to learn. And he should be expelled and forced to attend alternate schooling from a remedial education center post his jail time. He might learn from that. He might also learn that getting GED is not as strong as a high school diploma so he can get a shot at a college education or a decent job with wages higher than minimum wage.
This is what doing the right thing means. And if he can’t do any better than that, that’s on him.
