Students expelled from Southside High School are taking their legal battle to the highest court in the state.
School officials expelled two students from Southside High School in Chocowinity in Beaufort County after a fight in January 2008. Lawyers for the two girls have argued that they have a right to an alternative education, even if they are expelled from their original school. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled last month with the Beaufort County Schools decision to expel the students, saying the decision to offer alternative education should rest with local school boards. The Washington Daily News reports that the lawyers for the students are appealing the case to the State Supreme Court.

I was a teacher for 7 years in another county and am currently looking for another position in my field, so I know what is going on in these schools as well. As far as cameras in the classrooms goes it would never fly for the simple reason that these students are minors and some parents would not allow there kids be taped. Also, the cost of setting up all those cameras would be astronomical especially when some schools have over 100 teachers on staff. just my opinion.

With your tax money of course. Since you assume these kids are black. I pay taxes and I feel that all kids should be in school. That is what I pay these lazy teachers to do. So they should shutup and teach or find another profession.

The community colleges offer high school grad courses and the GED. There's your opportunity. School's a place to learn, not fight. I bet if they were allowed back in the schools, they would act up again. Let their parents home school them if the community college thing is out of the question.
