    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the report that has been given but I feel that when we are disciplining these students we should be doing it as a corrective measure but not as a punitive punishment which could destroy the lives of these young citizens. During the adolescence stages or due to peer pressure these kids do so many things. When the Senate or the school’s leadership just spells out very punitive punishments like expulsion for four years now and then you are destroying their lives. If you leave a young person in the cold for four years, for him or her to retrace their lives again it becomes very difficult and it is very expensive for their families and country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, therefore, in as much as the Senate said they were doing it within the rules, these rules should be revised to the extent that let them be corrected but not to be punished or destroyed. I feel personally that the four years expulsion is very punitive and destructive to these young people’s lives and, therefore, such things should be reviewed.
