I'm not exactly sure what good expelling him would do. I might remind you that we've only one high school on this island, and it simply isn't appropriate to deny the boy an education. As he has no real guardians, and is currently in the care of Mr. Drake, I am extremely concerned with the possible consequences of expulsion. While I agree that it is inappropriate behavior on his part, I feel as if, given the circumstances, we should perhaps cut a bit of leeway. I'm not saying that we don't punish him. I fully agree with taking action. I just don't think the extent to which you suggested is necessary. As you remember, we are still trying to figure out the exact details surrounding his parents death, and I'm not comfortable leaving him without supervision during the day while the rest of us are at work.
