To deny this person or any other felon a education would only make things worse. To but them in a special school would take away any social value learned in school. To make it the student explain his situation publicly to staff and students, would give warning to all about the student and possibly open doors to healing and understanding while also preventing others who might be headed down the same path. But your right we should be notified.

I was speaking in general, and wanted to convey that there is more to be learned in school than the lessons being taught. To limit high school to those under eighteen and aren't felons may not be the answer given all the other things that can be learned is school. I encouraged my son to quit school early because he was the victim of a very violent crime by a class mate who still had younger siblings in the same school. The criminal received almost ninety years without chance of parole. I have great respect for adult education and even greater respect for those who pursue it as oppose to those who are forced to participate. Often those with GEDs a smarter than those who just showed up for twelve years. My son is a volunteer firefighter who passed his BLS EMT tests on his first attempt. We should not fool ourselves to think that our children are not attending class without felons. Most of them don't get caught. To allow one back into class, and make the consequences be known to the other students could go a long way to prevention of others doing similar crimes. Attending classes with others who are aware of the situation might also help in rehabilitation by not segregating the person with others who have already been isolated from society.
