Collin and Alexis Gosselin: Expelled From Private School For "Rage Issues"
Two of Jon and Kate Gosselin's eight kids - Collin and Alexis Gosselin, both 6 - have been expelled from a private school in Pennsylvania over "rage issues."
They are now being homeschooled, a source close to the situation says. Great, so now the wire-haired control freak gets even MORE face time with them.
"They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source told In Touch Weekly, which first reported their expulsion.
Simpler times.
"Collin had such bad issues that he refused to get his picture taken at school. He's tired of being on-camera," a witness says of the troubled sextuplet.
Others have come to the pair's defense, claiming that despite reports of violence and bullying, they are not behaving as badly as has been reported.
"The situation is being grossly overstated," a source says.
"The kids are going through a very challenging time, but Kate doesn't feel this is something that should be discussed publicly. It is a private matter."
With the divorce, Kate has acknowledged that the children have had difficult moments, but says in general, they are "amazing, resilient, loving kids."
Their dad begs to differ, at least as far as how well-adjusted they are. Jon lashed out at Kate for continuing to keep the kids on television, claiming the exposure gives them behavioral and emotional problems at school and beyond.
Basically, he's a deadbeat and Kate's a child abuser. Those therapy bills are going to start piling up really, really fast.

I have to say that Kate is NOT a single mom raising 8 kids. She has a huge staff raising them for her.

If the kids are acting up due to divorce that is normal. A lot of kids will play one parent against the other to get what they want after their parents have divorced. If any of them are acting up at school due being on TV then it's time they need to be taken off TV. I agreen that the cost of raising 8 kids is not your average family cost but come on here Kate has socked away $ for the future and she is writing children books and getting paid very well for that and giving lectures also which she is getting paid for so don't tell me that she is broke. Maybe it's time the kids just became kids. Get the off TV and just let them be.

I challenge any one of you to support 8 kids on your own (Jon sure doesn't help) without going on public assistance like Octomom (now she's abusive to have that many kids). The Gosselin kids have had experiences most adults will never have, visited places they never could have without the show, and live in a nice place where they can learn about taking care of dogs chickens, etc. Kate makes sure they eat healthy foods, disciplines them so they are well behaved, polite, and grateful, and does all kinds of special activities with them from visiting the Amish fruit stand to hay rides, camping out, beach trips, and having movie nights. I know I lost my temper plenty as a single mother of just two kids so I think she manages very well with 8. As the old saying goes, don't judge someone until you walk in their shoes. If Kate wanted to look like a perfect person she could insist they edit out when she loses her temper but the show seems to show both the good and the bad. If you don't ha

SOME OF THE COMMENTS ARE LAUGHABLE. Jon should have custody of the children? Can he feed the kids? -HEAR ME - HE HAS NO JOB. -OR-- Kate should get a real job and not a hollywood style job. -HEAR ME - if she gets a job for $100 a week - IT WON'T BE ENOUGH TO PAY ALL THE NANNIES NEEDED TO CARE FOR THE KIDS. JEESES, DO THE MATH WILL YOU. The biggest laugh is the ones who write as though they personally know KATE AND ARE QUITE WILLING TO SPILL THE BEANS.

SHAME ON YOU ALL FOR NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE OF kATE & THE KIDS.i KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE A SINGLE MOM WITHOUT A FINANCIALLY & OTHERWISE SUPPORTIVE FATHER. kATE IS DOING HER BEST NOT YOUR BEST OR MY BEST. THE CHILDREN ARE BEING CHILDREN & GETTING SUPPORT FROM THE CREW THAT DOES THE FILMING ETC.THE SCHOOL SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPELLED THEM BUT RATHER TREATED THIS DESCRETELY working with a counsellor,the kid's parents & the school staff. I am a behaviour specialist in education so know where ere I speak. Hang in there Kate. Get off your butt Jon and support your ex-wife & kids.Get rid of the bitterness. This is not about it. It is about your kids.

Any private school that expelled two 6yr olds clearly needs to re think it's fees!!! Personally I don't believe in passing the buck when it comes to kids... If you can't handle kids don't have a school. Are we really saying that a group of trained adults can't handle two 6yr olds???
