Consider this statement (which the author used to conclude his article):<p><i>That being said, I heartily do not recommend expulsion as a rite of passage for high school students. I’m fairly certain the extreme levels of stress and anxiety I experienced shaved a few years off my life.</i><p>I&#x27;d argue that your son is lucky to have you - you sound like the kind of parent who not only weathered the storm, but turned it into the best possible experience. If I&#x27;m ever in your shoes, I hope that my child comes out the other side looking as good as your son did!<p>Great work.
