Kick unruly students out?

SHOULD high schools be allowed to expel students? That question has been on people's minds recently.

Zhejiang, like all other provinces, had a regulation allowing schools to expel students who seriously violate school rules. It abolished the regulation in 2005, the only province to do so.

Last week, Chen Liangming, a deputy headmaster of Rui'an High School in Zhejiang Province, proposed that the regulation be brought back.

Chen said that some students are really hard to discipline and that getting rid of the rule has had a negative effect on school management.

Others don't agree. Some say that minors are not yet mature. It's important to protect their right to study. To expel a student means that the student may lose the basic ability to participate in society in the future.

They call for more provinces to adopt the Zhejiang policy.

What do you think? Should high schools have the right to expel students?
