I need help with the following issue: My son is 16, he's been expelled from school for bringing a knife to school. He showed it in the parking lot and someone reported him. We were just one month in the school year and he was being successful with his classes. It is the social aspect of everything that causes him trouble. He has this suspicious mind, so sure people think he's a fighter, when he hasn't fought ever. But for some reason he allows people to think he is. Now he cannot go to any school in our district except alternative home schooling, but is not motivated or structured enough to be able to do that on his own. He is working as a cook at BP's, but the hours are very scattered and he needs to be way more structured. He has the good life all day at home or is free to go where he pleases. We try to keep him busy, but does not like to take orders from us. I've just started the program with Mark so!
I pray that my husband and I can learn and help our son to succeed. He is so worth it.

This is a problem.... see a good counsler. He is in need of help. Also contact an attorney. Your son has a right to be educated - don't fight with him anymore. Try to listen to him instead of telling him what he should do. Take an egg timer and sit down and give each person a certain amount of uninterrupted talk time. He made a mistake, but he should not be paying for it with his chances for a better life.
the school can only expell him for a certain amount of days then they have to provide some type of education for him which could mean an alternative school.
My nephew was accused of a felony assault,sent to boot camp for 45 weeks.When his trial came up, his accuser admitted that he lied.
have you looked into home schooling him? my stepbrother had the same problem, he was sent to an alternative school for threatening a kid and still got into trouble and there was no way of keeping him out of trouble but to take him out of school and keeping him home and teaching him there.
I can't see a school expelling a student for doing this ONE time (though I can see a severe suspension being in order), which leads me to believe this is NOT the first time he's caused trouble at school.
