Kate Gosselin's Children, Alexis and Collin, Expelled From School After Hurting Adult: Report

Kate minus two: Radar Online is reporting that two of Kate Gosselin's children, six-year olds Alexis and Collin, were in fact expelled from their Pennsylvania private school, confirming mid-November reports.

The reason? The two had been creating quite a disturbance in school, abusing both students and adults.

"Both Jon and Kate were sent a letter from the head of school explaining that despite their best efforts, staff had reached a point at which they had to request the children enroll in another program," Radar's source close to the school said.

The decision did not come quickly or easily, the site's source said, noting that the school had worked diligently to help the children improve their behavior.

"Both Alexis and Collin received three full weeks of intensive special treatment to focus their behavior," Radar quotes the source saying. "While the teacher was able to achieve some success, it became apparent to the school that the pair needed intensive assistance to help them with their social, emotional and academic needs."

Weeks following the initial expulsion reports, Kate Gosselin defiantly denied the rumors, saying that leaving the school was a mutual decision.

"The school would never use that word," she told People Magazine. "[Collin and Alexis] were not expelled. [The school] did not feel like they could meet their needs anymore, so it was decided they should leave, for now."

Perhaps familial problems are beginning to take their toll on the children. They spent a tumutuous two hours on set, "camping," on 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' before Kate broke down and pulled them off the show, and have been splitting time between parents. In fact, in an unlikely twist, once-reviled father Jon Gosselin may be providing a more stable environment for the kids, with a new, "regular guy" job in technology and a smaller, more private lifestyle.

I feel sorry for those children - they are so cute and have good personalities but as the show progressed, I could see where problems were already beginning. I don't blame the children, and perhaps not even the parents. The problem is with tv networks who have discovered that reality shows are cheaper to make so therefore profits are higher. Again we have a example of greed in our country! http://maboulette.wordpress.com

Does anyone remember the days when TLC actually showed science based programming and one had a chance at learning something new about the world around them? (ie; "The Day The Universe Changed" etc)

For all the ppl upset about Gosslein, just remember, many of you brought this garbage TV on yourselves by resisting the challenging content and reveling in this white trash voyeuristic pap. Don't complain because its what many of you asked for.

@t.joseph landry: you are 1000% right. Don't the call letters for TLC stand for The Learning Channel. I'd be hard pressed to actually find programming on the network that would be a "learning" experience.

I couldn't agree with you more. It seems all you hear is people complaining about how skanky Jersey Shore is, how HORRID Kate Goesslin is (which I don't deny). But seriously, these shows are made and RENEWED because people are watching.

This is just the beginning of the public awareness of the problems that the lifestyle that Kate has chosen for her children. It is difficult for adults to handle fame, these kids must think that they are special and they expect everyone to treat them as such. She should downsize her home and take the kids out of the spotlight. Very successfull child celebrities have vanished from the public, it would be in their best interest to do the same.

But you are forgetting, Kate is a child herself.

Seems that a few good old fashioned spankings are in order.

I thought that's what Alexis and Collin were already doing.

Sociopaths are usually not real good at parenting as it requires thinking outside yourself for no other reason than it's the right thing to do.

I don't think there is any sign that Kate is a sociopath.  You need to stop using this term so lightly.

There is no evidence that Kate is a sociopath; that is correct. But she could very well be narcissist.

I've only ever watched a few minutes of the show but that woman is a nasty abusive piece of work, as in personality disorder. I would have divorced her too. No surprise the kids are acting the same way, she is their role model. Very sad. For whatever his defects it would be best for the children for Jon to get custody of them and she pay child support from whatever pile she's making off all this. Except for the income the celebrity is not helping, watching a family disintegrate.

Given that these children have been celebrities from birth, that they probably have developmental disabilities from being premature, that their parents n divorced as the entire world has watched, it is surprising that these children can act normally at all. This is so sad.

[Howzmyhair]

That's exactly what I thought. I have wondered how she could have 6 kids at once and NOT have some kids with developmental issues. Having taught in a school for kids with learning disabilities, preemies and multiples are at much greater risk. Possibly she is afraid of labeling those 2, but if she knows they have issues beyond " bad parenting" and a divorce (which is stressful enough) and pushes them into the limelight, that is just cruel. She's painted herself into a corner, $ wise. If she has medically fragile children, she probably needs the health insurance for them through her t.v. show as kids with special needs would need educational and behavioral support for years to come. But they need to get away from the cameras, ASAP!

There were a couple of photos before this story and if you will notice Mady is crying in one of them. Mady has had a major problem from the beginning. She acts just like Kate. I have always worried about what was going to happen to her. Kate always made excuses for her behavior. This child needed therapy years ago! For those of you that haven't watched "Jon and Kate plus 8" aren't aware of how Kate has always acted. The way she was out camping was just plain old Kate! She doesn't have any friends and rejects her family. It is so sad for those children. They are such beautiful children.

And on top of it all now she is going on TV with the brutal animal murdering snow billy liar - which will most likely give all the kids guns to go with their rage for the holidays.

so sad that the kids have to pay for their parents poor decisions. they didn;t ask to be brought in to this world...let alone brought into this world as a source of income.

For all the people saying to get the kids off TV: How else is Kate going to pay the bills? Haven't watched the show in a while but last time I checked I don't think she has a real job.

She's trained as a nurse and last I heard there was a huge shortage in almost every state.

My grandma was a mother of 9 when her husband had a heart attack in 1965. Guess what?? She got a job, sometimes two. She kept them fed, paid the bills, and they all turned out to be fantastic human beings. Kate is an RN, and if she would learn to live in a $100,000 house instead of a $2,000,000 one, maybe her kids would be better people because of it. She lives FAR outside reasonable means. She is repulsive.

The nuns who ran my Fourth Grade class also told me they could no longer "meet my needs" and suggested I enroll elsewhere (like military school). All I can say is "Thank God" my departure from that fine establishment (along with my entire childhood) did not make headlines. If it had, I would probably have morphed into a serial killer. Or a hedge fund manager.

My heart breaks for these poor, exploited children. Their parents should be ashamed.

Love the hedge fund joke, especially impressive as it is from somebody in the fourth grade!
