Here in the states they wouldn't be suspended. In fact, their status is protected--even the TEACHERS are not allowed to know.
I found out one of my students was a registered sex offender at the ripe old age of 16. I found out when he was caught climbing the wall in the boys bathroom to watch through the ceiling into the girls bathroom. What happened to him you may ask? He got three days in school suspension! That's it. Fortunately or unfortunately, he was re-arrested for re-offending over a school holiday--he molested his four-year-old sister. :furious:
Other students I've had who were sex offenders were Special Education students--legally, we couldn't touch them unless they killed someone. For example: one young man--special ed, though not a sex offender, just out of control--beat the crap out of a girl when she wouldn't give him a dollar for a coke. She ended up in the hospital and needed plastic surgery. He got one day out of school suspension and three days in school suspension. Her parents withdrew her from school.
The hands of administrators in this country are tied!
