Two Gosselin Kids Expelled From School

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Nov 12th 2010 07:00PM

In the midst of what's being called a "challenging time," two of Kate and Jon Gosselin's children have been expelled, PEOPLE reports. Collin and Alexis, both 6, are being home schooled after being asked to leave a private school in Pennsylvania.

Though there've been reports of violence and bullying at the school, a source close to the situation claims the children were not behaving as badly as claimed.

"The situation is being grossly overstated," the source told PEOPLE. "The kids are going through a challenging time, but Kate doesn't feel this is something that should be discussed publicly. It is a private matter."

This isn't the first time one of the Gosselin kids was expelled-one of the sextuplet girls was previously suspended for hitting a classmate, the New York Post reports.

Kate has previously stated that her divorce from Jon has caused the children stress and that they've suffered some difficult moments. But overall, she said her kids (twins Cara and Mady and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aaden, Collin and Joel) are handling the split ok.

"They're just amazing, resilient, loving kids," she told PEOPLE recently.

The expulsion news comes on the heels of Sunday night's TLC special, 'Kate Plus 8: Alaska Here We Come," which drew a disappointing 1.33 million viewers--much less than the almost 10 million viewers who tuned into the Gosselin drama last year.

Like mother, like children. Kate is a bully and her children are following her example. Kate hits, so her children hit.

Kids have inherited the mother's arrogance. the girls will probably grow up to be man haters too

How sad for the kids. Jon is so right, they need to be off TV, our of the public eye as much as possible and allowed to be 6. As far as throwing them out of school...their 6. You're just sending them home to spend more time with Kate or worse a babysitter while Kate tramps around the country.

I don't blame the kids, I blame the PARENTS. These poor children are beginning to act out their psychological problems due to their mommy and duddy getting a divorce. If Kate doesn't get them the counseling they need, and SOON, this is only the beginning.

Rubbish! Most kids will smack or bop another kid a few times a year until they get close to 10. It mostly has to do with their age, maturity level, and impulse control. They *stop doing this as their parents and other close adults teach them that this is unacceptable/ The 'expulsion' from school is just another part of the PC cr@p that proliferates these days. Heck, my 10 yo. just got a detention because he was having fun poking holes in an apple with a spork! Totally ridiculous!

When any of those mistakes ( Kids ) get out of line and acts up they should get a damm good slap till they strighten out.
What a fool he was having so many kids. He should of taken control of his wife and got her spaded. Then laid her.

These poor children are victims of money hungry parents. Everyone who is a parent needs to turn this show off, and CPS needs to check the situation at home. It is so very sad to see parents use their children as money making opportunities.

cant believe Im even taking the time to read this...her time is up....just like it was in dwts....

so over rated......

Did someone say the word "BULLYING"? Did you ever hear the way Kate spoke to John, and in front of the kiddies, she also spoke to them in the same bullying manner. Kate is far from being a prize, but she thinks she's God's gift to everyone ..and John, oh my, he is so far out there, it's just sad to watch the entire family. This is just the beginning for the kids, they are heading for a heap of trouble if the so-called adults don't make some huge changes fast. Please get off TV, that would be a start.

hey i am not surprised they are nasty and miserable cause the mother is a psycho who does not care about them only uses them to make money

By Deb

we were just talking last night about the worse contestant on DWTS. Yes, Kate was the first one mentioned by all. She acted spoiled, sell-centered, respected no one. I see where the kids get it, but on the other hand they could be lazy and slow thinking like Jon. They don't have a chance. Cara will be the only one who makes it out of the eight

"Kate doesn't feel this is something that should be discussed publicly." HELLO EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND KID'S LIFE HAS BEEN PUBLIC! That's why these kids have problems. You have made enough money to live on. You need to simplify your life and redirect your energy onto your kids. We have seen enough of you, you are now boring to watch!
