Dear Liz, That action is totally appropriate. I would do the exact same thing if I were the principle. Only thing is, the parents could sue the school to make them admit there kid again and that would put the entire situation in a negative light for the kid and the school. The kid would see himself as the persecuted and not a perpetrator of violence. — Attitude is 90% of success. Determination is the rest.

Situation: Two kids get in a quarrel and one says to the other "I’m gonna kill you".
