A September 20, 2005 article from USA Today examines how the number of preschoolers who are expelled has increased in recent years. Experts believe the trend is a reflection of understaffed schools, rather than an indicator that today's youth are particularly unruly. If staff members at a preschool are already stretched thin, it may be easier to expel children who regularly misbehave than to provide them with the extra attention they need. Attempts to set parents' minds at ease by implementing "zero-tolerance" policies may also be leading to an increased number of expulsions.
