[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 103037, member: 3626"] I would check with the school to see if that is truly the policy that it doesn't matter the cause of the outburst, just that there was an outburst could create a suspension. If they said yes, then I would be calling the school district and getting their viewpoint of such a policy. Zero tolerance is one thing and I understand if the boy is hitting or threatening but if he is crying or screaming in rage or throwing something in a non-dangerous direction, that's another. It would seem to me that kicking someone at age 12 would be grounds for a suspension. Of course, I'm willing to bet that no one knows about it. It would be interesting to see what the school would do if they knew about it. I agree that the policy isn't fair. However, the reality is that it is pretty common. The kid with the reputation is the one that is looked at first when something happens. If the kid claims another started it, it is discounted because the teacher and staff KNOW better. Stinks but that's the way it is. I know I spent many a day in the principal's office fighting with the staff when I knew another child had started the problem. If I knew she was at fault, I accepted their consequences. Hopefully, this boy's parents are willing to fight for him. [/QUOTE]
