cutting pre-k expulsions is out from some people at Harvard. They say that teachers do need access to mental health consultants to help lower the expulsion rate. They would also like see class sizes down to 10 students per teacher.

I say that you can offer a math class that uses a lot of computers, but I am not so sure that is the best way to teach kids.
