The last time that I heard about him he was kicked out of his fifth school by age 10-11. But, as I said, they had to find his a new school.
24 years ago I was the Director of Academic Studies at a high school for kids like that. These were kids who'd been kicked out of every available school, both public and private, and this place was more of a warehouse with classrooms and dorms. It was located in a very remote part of northern New England, very expensive, and we could NOT suspend or expel students regardless of their behavior. 95% of these kids were not violent (thank God) but it was good to be stronger, faster, smarter, and meaner than the other 5%. Coincidentally, this afternoon I'm going to meet with one of the students. He's visiting Kyoto with his wife. I just barely remember him as he wasn't one of the violent ones...
