expulsion seems a little harsh (school's almost out for the Summer anyways).

Better idea is to do just the opposite (after they make a public apology to the woman), ... have them attend Summer school or perform community service (with the elderly), during their Summer vacation.

If they refuse or fail to show... then threaten them with expulsion.

Take away their whole summer, and make them do community service, hopefully they will learn something.

This was just terribly cruel and punishment should be hard for them.

And a lot of kids don't communicate with real people. They are always texting, it keeps them quiet, and the parents let them do it everywhere. Cell phones are bringing up your kids. They are losing people skills. But I do like the community service idea. Serves them right.
