Rejected petition Rehabilitate misbehaving children rather than excluding them from school

Excluding misbehaving children from school for a fixed period does not fix bad behaviour. These children see exclusion as extra time off school rather than a punishment. Attending to the support of a professional instead of staying at home for a week would ensure the same mistake does not occur.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

A school's behaviour policy - including deciding on punishments for particular behaviour - is the responsibility of the headteacher. You can find out more about this here:
