"Expulsion does not solve this actually, they'll be taken to another school and they'll continue being what they are. They should be kept in same school under close watch attending G&C sessions and demoted a class or two classes backward. Expulsion doesn't fix them, if their parents are wealthy enough they can fly them abroad to go study and they'll still carry their bad character and go there."
