Two Gosselin Kids Expelled From School: Report (Jon & Kate Plus 8 TV show)
Two of the Gosselin sextuplets have been expelled from their Pennsylvania private school, In Touch Weekly reports. Alexis and Collin, age 6, are reportedly being home-schooled after getting kicked out for "rage issues."

"They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source told the magazine.

Jon Gosselin recently lashed out at Kate for continuing to keep the kids on television, claiming the show has given them behavioral and emotional problems--and the In Touch report suggests their filming schedule has caused trouble at school.

"Collin had such bad issues that he refused to get his picture taken at school because he's tired of being on-camera," the source said.

IMHO these kids are going to grow up with a ton of problems thanks to their celebrity hungry money grubbing idiot parents and equally reprehensible TV network!

3. In a Republican future all that will mater is if they have tons of money.
So what kind of future will they be better suited for? Kate can hire a psychologist.Realism is a bitch.

5. That's what happen when your kids are nothing but
money making machines. Those poor kids are going to need extensive therapy in the future. :crazy: Hopefully the parents will have set aside some of the money for the kids to use for that, since the kids earned it! :mad:

6. with those 2 for parents, this would prolly happen with or without the TV exploitation aspect.
except they'd be in public school ... and likely wouldn't be expelled.

8. Who cares?
Their parents are useless wastes of skin who add nothing to society.

10. If you've followed the show
and some of the fan sites, you'd know Kate lords over the kids and it is rumored she used a 'spoon' to 'discipline' her kids. I remember when they were really little (like 2 or 3), she'd freak over dumb shit, and send the kids to the corner and they RAN as if their life depended on it. I remember thinking (since I have kids the same age as hers) that children acting that way at that age was not normal unless they were scared shitless. I cringe when I think about what went on behind closed doors. Not to mention Kate is a huge narcissist. John, who I think means well, can't get out of the trap of needing the money since he has NO skills to support 8 kids, and is not the brightest bulb. He's also self-absorbed. Those kids were doomed from the start, and TV just made it worse.

11. I wonder if the producers were aware of the abuse of the kids.
I would think with the amount of shooting that had to have been shot that improper behavior would have been seen. And if so then producers and staff possibly should be prosecuted for knowingly ignoring abuse.
