Ideas: A "Miranda" Warning For Students
What if there was some sort of Miranda warning for students at risk of being expelled or "counseled" out of school? Perhaps such a thing already exists but if not it might look something like this: "You have the right to decline to answer questins about your immigration status, home situation, learning or behavioral issues, or anything else besides your age, previous school, and home address at the time of your enrollment...You have the right to stay at your school despite poor grades or spotty attendance or nonphysical behavioral violations (verbal outbursts, defiance, etc.)... You have the right to have a parent/guardian, translator, and student advocate attend any conference at which your continued presence at the school is discussed...
