[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571978, member: 1233"] I loathe and despise zero tolerance policies like this. They are stupid and non productive and work to enforce exactly what they want to prevent. I know LOTS of kids who would see a zero tolerance policy as a dare, a challenge, or a vacation from school. Or all 3. This is one reason that I LOVE our school district. They have a strong policy that they will NOT create any zero tolerance policies. Even having a child shoot himself at our jr high a few mos ago did not change this policy. They evaluate problems as part of a whole, not just looking at the action, but why the student did it and what they wanted to accomplish and what contributed to make it happen. I am glad the parents got and attorney. They will likely NEED one for quite a while. [/QUOTE]
