First of all, it's taken from an article by the Daily Mail - that should set off alarm bells from the get go. Then, if you actually read the story, it's only talking about two classes of particularly difficult or unruly teenagers in Weavers School in Wellingborough.
The school could expell them if it wants to - leaving the children with no education at all - after all the children there are only at school because the law tells them they have to be. Given the choice, they'd be doing their own thing elsewhere. How does a teacher instill any respect in someone who has no interest, and knows that they are going to be legally out of school in 6-9 months? At least this school policy is an attempt to teach these kids something before they are loosed into the world.
