In our school, cheating is grounds for expulsion; however, a handful of families have been given the option to withdraw immediately instead. The withdrawal is voluntary, the student must leave immediately and never return, and (as far as I know) the reason for the withdrawal is not a part of the student’s record. Students who are disciplined for a crime, fighting, or a “health and safety violation” don’t have that option; they face expulsion hearings before the Board. But we don’t see the cheaters. I don’t know of any cheaters who haven’t chosen to withdraw.</p>
<p>Threatening a faculty member would be a “health and safety violation,” and the student would probably be escorted off the premises in handcuffs. Either the local police’s cuffs or the ones a teacher carries. ;)</p>
