[QUOTE="DDD, post: 488596, member: 35"] This is one of my pet peeves with today's schools. Zero tolerance often means zero intervention. I hope you have success and I don't doubt for a minute they will pay more attention to you than they do to the less educated parent. by the way, where we live "fighting back" is considered to be "participating in disruptive conduct". The schools are "into" using local law enforcement...sigh!...and the policemen themselves think it is ridiculous as they grew up in the world where defending yourself was acceptable and detentions were the only punishment. The "old" members of the Board have read this before but I think it exemplifies "zero tolerance" Our five year old got an out of school suspension when in K because he put a tomato slice on his head. Good Grief! That is when I realized how insane the next twelve years were going to be. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
