When did zero ...Maybe you can help me out on this? When did zero tolerance, not common sense, take over in these schools?<br />The parents and the administration are the people that need to work these out, together. <br />Zero tolerance policies are a nightmare. Why do the kids rights get thrown out the door? Guilty until proven innocent? Not in my Country. <br />7 year old NEW Cub Scout brings a camping knife to school, the kind with fold out fork and spoon, that his parents bought him. He is suspended and attempt was made to expel him. <br />Young girl in high school uses a painted wooden gun-shaped implement to practice for her marching in Drum and Bugle corp. She leaves it in back seat of her car. She is suspended and almost expelled.<br />These stories are just 2 of the many out there. Me? I blame the insurance companies and the lawyers. IF I was on a school board I would insist on common sense use of the laws. Each instance would be dealt with individually on their merit.<br />This story of the little boy with the tiny toy plastic 2 inch gun, who is a police officers son, is ludicrous and insulting to smart people! <br />This is children brainwashing.. Soon there will be no bats used at baseball games. Someone could be beaten with it. Incredible!Dannythemannoreply@blogger.com
