I randomly found this site while I was researching some information about Zero Tolerance and I have to say I have learned a lot from everyone. We are all quick to judge and seek to blame others. PIPER- I have to say that I admire that you are in an environment where you can look at a situation and judge it for what it is and still keep in mind the safety of your students. However, on the other hand I have say that I don’t think it’s the administrators fault completely. I mean wouldn’t you all agree that you would do what your job requires of you? I know some administrators, from where I grew up, seriously lack common sense in the Zero Tolerance idea, but they too want to keep there jobs and will hide behind this policy in order to do so. It’s not right, so WE need to help change the policy! I pray and hope that those who are capable of making a change in this policy will soon do so. This all comes back to the idea the good suffer with the bad, but if we open our eyes and look around, maybe WE are the answer to this situation. why can’t the people change what needs to be changed?
