Education , after all, is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating character. Its ultimate goal is to form kind, good-natured, loving and responsible people.
Don't add another cut to the student's pain.
If discipline is the strength of the army, then love is the strength of education. Because only love is capable of influencing and guiding students.
Therefore, many opinions support the new regulation of the education sector: students must not be forced to drop out of school. A child expelled from school not only loses the opportunity to study, but also easily slides into the darkness. Instead of a problem student, society will have to face the risk of another thug or scoundrel appearing.
“Bad students” – a term that is sometimes used very harshly – actually have deep roots. Some are impulsive, hot-tempered, and thoughtless; some are psychologically deviant due to circumstances; and some carry family wounds that are difficult to heal.

I once met a student who was grumpy, spoke rudely, even stole petty things, and lived a secluded life without any friends. Only when I got to know him did I know that he was an orphan, his father left him to marry another woman, and he only lived with his old and forgetful grandmother. He lacked love to the point of becoming stubborn and rebellious. Another student lived a very filial life, but had a hot temper and would get into fights if his friends teased him a little. If he hit his friends a few times, he would be expelled from school.
In such cases, if we only look at the surface and conclude that the child is "damaged", "unteachable" and decide to expel them from school, then the school is adding another cut to the child's pain, pushing their life into crime. Because if the parents have abandoned them, and the school also turns its back, then where will those children depend on?
What is the solution for problem students?
Of course, it is also necessary to frankly admit that not all students are easy to influence. There are students with particularly strong personalities, even those with the potential to cause harm to others. In these cases, the solution is not to push them out of the system, but to build special schools - if not qualified, there should be special classes - where appropriate methods are used, with well-trained teachers to accompany them.
In reality, there are students who are good at studying but their personalities are distorted and deviant. I have known cases where students got high scores on multiple choice tests but their test papers were full of bad words. Or there are students who, when their test scores were not as expected, would throw tantrums at their teachers.
In reality, to discipline a problem student, the school needs to entrust the work to experienced and truly dedicated teachers. They must be patient, dedicated, and even willing to "trade" a lot of time and effort without extra pay. But that trade-off is completely worth it, because instead of losing a bad student, we can gain a decent citizen, saving the future of a person.
“Education can teach a bear to sing.” This may sound like an exaggeration, but it contains a great truth. Education can make the seemingly impossible possible. But to make a “bear sing,” it takes more than love and determination, but also great teachers and the right schools.
Therefore, the new regulation of the education sector is not simply an administrative regulation. It is an affirmation of philosophy: every child deserves the opportunity to learn and be educated. It is not only their right, but also the responsibility of the whole society. A humane education is an education that knows how to reach out, knows how to be patient, knows how to find a separate path for each student, instead of eliminating them.
Open the door of hope
If we truly believe in the power of love, then let schools always be places that open the door of hope - even for the most difficult children. Because education, after all, is a journey of sowing seeds of kindness and love. And in that journey, no one deserves to be left behind.
