Who Is Being Expelled from Preschools, and Why?

Walter Gilliam, Director of the Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy, identifies who is getting expelled from preschool and how those decisions seem to be made.

Thank you for not shying away from the reality of behaviours.

How come there are not any comments to this video, this information is very important to know as teachers and caregivers.

I was expelled from kindergarten at 4 years of age. I am black and male my last memories from that kindergarten was me being isolated in a corner in every break, me complaining about multiple things to the staff (some nonsensical I was four), a man taking me to the babies room (empty at the time) and squeezed and twisted my arm after he told me something I didn't take lightly told him something that offended him (don't remember what) and the day I left and had to sign my name somewhere despite not knowing how to read or write yet. The previous kindergarten I went was what I was told was abusive from what I was told and that's why I left that one. People need to be aware about the malpractices in Childcare and other services envolving Children

Please do a video on this too about schools refusing to give kids services and refusing to help transfer students as well! This is our problem now...expelling my 4year old rather than doing anything to help curb the behaviors. Ironically enough we get his results on his ADS eval next Tues but hes not allowed to attend past Friday.... they have refused anything to do with the 504 we filed and told the principal we didn't qualify for services..but I've gotten literally nothing from the 504 lady!

This is an interesting study. These teachers aren’t real teachers kids need love and these teachers don’t have it.

Teachers will not acknowledge to being biased on gender and race regardless of the results. Many teachers would rather you medicate children even though their brains have not fully developed than put more effort into reaching the child. Too much work especially since Pre-K is not required by law. Granted these children may not be saints, but it is too soon to permanently label children who are not even in real school.
