Preschoolers More Likely to Be Expelled Than Public Schoolers, Yale Says

I'm back Moon Man fans!

Sorry for the wait. Dealing with finals can be a pain.

This may not be a surprise to you all, but little children are much more terrible today than they were in the past, but just in case you haven't figured this out yet by now, a Washington Post article I have found today will help you.

Yale researchers have discovered that our nation's preschoolers are being expelled at three times the rate of a public school student. Yale's study of 3,898 preschools in 40 states also discovered:

  • boys are being thrown out of preschool 4 1/2 times as frequently as girls.
  • African American preschoolers are twice as likely to be expelled as white or Latino children, and five times as likely as Asian Americans.
  • Twice as many 5-year-olds face the ultimate sanction for bad behavior as 4-year-olds.

Why?

Some say that preschool teacher lack the training needed to deal with these brats.

Some say that kids aren't receiving enough attention from psychologists and social workers.

Some say that today's children have serious behavioral problems.

What do YOU think the problem is?
