British School Problems

I just read another appalling article about children not being able to attend school.  The article was that British schools, after expelling children for bad behavior, want those children to not attend school.  These children need "mental" health screening.  This is to protect other students.

I know my opinion is of little importance... but I think all children deserve an education.  If the child is having problem and is threatening other children, then the school has to provide an alternative, so the child does not loose his/her education.  

I am considering home school for my teen son.  I live in the US, so this is an option.  I want him to have a consistent education during his teen years, and he attends public school, but I am moving his freshman year.  My boy is really bright, but I have had to fight with the teachers to get him motivated.  He is bored because he knows what they are teaching and he wants to spring ahead while other students need the extra attention.  He has not made the grades to get ahead because he is bored.  

I think this is an education problem.  The people of Great Britain need to educate their children, as we do in the US.

Screening? C'mon!

Everybody knows that pharma is behind all that and just looking for customers!

See tax records here: www.signsofsuicide.org
There is a psychiatric / pharmaceutical plan to "suicide screen" every child in the United States before they graduate from high school. Evidence exists that shows massive pharmaceutical backing that will result in even more overdrugging of kids with psychiatric drugs .

Can you take a moment to view this very short video? Click here:

And then sign and forward this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/TScreen/petition.html to your associates and everyone you know? It already has over 23,400 signatures.

It's simply a race to inform enough parents so something can be done about this.
