SPCH Head Proposes Expelling Students for Insulting Teachers

Head of the Presidential Council on the Status of the Child Fadeev said who should pay for truants' expulsion from school due to behavior.

Consensus

Valery Fadеev, head of Russia's Presidential Council on Human Rights (SPCH), proposed introducing strict measures for students who insult or use violence against teachers.
The current rules formally allow expulsion, but in practice it is nearly impossible to implement.
The decision to expel a student should be made by a pedagogical council, not an individual teacher.
Parents are responsible for ensuring the child continues education after expulsion, through finding a new school or home schooling.
The initiative aims to make formal rules into real, working mechanisms for discipline.
A three-tier system for evaluating student behavior is being tested in 10 schools per region as part of a pilot program.

Fadеev stated that parents must take responsibility for the child's future education, including finding another school or arranging home schooling, and that they must 'do something' with the child to prevent further offenses. — tg_moscowtimes_ru
The proposal includes a step-by-step process before a failing grade is given: warnings, reprimands, and parent meetings at a pedagogical council; the student still has a chance to correct the mark. — riamo
Fadеev emphasized that only the pedagogical council can make the decision to expel, due to potential bias among individual teachers, and that expulsion must be enforced if behavior does not improve. — vesti
