Kate Gosselin kids issue kept private

Kate Gosselin isn't talking to the media about the recent reports that two of her children have been expelled from school.

Said reports confirm that Collin and Alexis (two of the sextuplets) were expelled from their school for bullying other children and using foul language. You know that for 6 year-olds to be expelled, it had to be pretty bad, right?

Well, a source for Kate has chimed in and tells PEOPLE, "the situation is being grossly overstated. 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." It's funny that when something bad happens, Kate decides to keep things private.

However, do you think Kate is being smart by keeping things private or do you think she should release a statement that gets people off her back? Of course everyone now thinks that she is a terrible mother (wait, you thought that before?) and people are going to speculate as to what Collin and Alexis did and who taught them those words and why these kids are acting out and so on and so forth.
