600+ NY Preschoolers Expelled each year - [Education]----------------------------------------------------
More than 600 kids, generally aged 3 and 4, are expelled from New York preschools each year, according to a Yale University study.
That means preschoolers get kicked out at a rate nearly 18 times higher than kids from kindergarten to 12th grade.
The study shows that boys are 4½ times more likely to get kicked out than girls.
Black children are twice as likely to get expelled as white or Hispanic preschoolers.
6 out of every 1000 preschoolers are expelled from schools across the US, compared to NY's 9 out of every 1000.
Preschool is not required in NY, so it's easier to remove a troublemaker than it would be in higher grades.
Roughly 42,000 kids attend preschool in NY.
