Have you ever seen a supider Zero Tolerance Policy action?

Zero tolerance policies may be good if your staff members have only a double digit IQ. One would hope a school principal has an IQ higher than the average 100. Greater Clark County Schools (a River Valley Middle School in Jeffersonville nameless vice-principal) suspended a 7th grader because she touched and possessed a pill when it was placed in her hand by another student. Martin Bell, COO of Greater Clark County Schools validated the vice principals decision for a FIVE day suspension for possession of Adderall.

I think we can all agree this is absurd. My question is have you seen anything more stupid?

    some of these zero tolerance policies are indeed stupid. incredibly stupid. yet, bullying is on the rise and is a hot topic amongst preteens and teens today. please tell me what i'm missing?

    i don't know if this is more stupid than your example, but i knew a neighbor who was suspended for bringing a spork to school and flying it in his mouth like an airplane during lunch time. i mean, really? a flipping spork, of all things? right, i'm really going to have death by a spork. a butter knife is more threatening than a spork.

    all i can do is shake my head.......

    Wtf why are parents pumping their kids full of amphetamines anyway... rediculous. ADHD/ADD is bogus. Drug companies created it and everyone fed into it. People are absolute sheep. I wouldn't tolerate it either. Your mom really wants you to pop a pill? Do it before school.

    And bullying... if you wear black nail polish, skinny jeans and a hot pink belt, and you are male... I hope someone flips you some sh*t.

    Make kids wear uniforms and enforce a strict dress code (including no nail polish on MALES). End of story there. Now that's a zero tolerance policy I would support :)

    There is NO logical argument for not having uniforms in school. Would save us from all of this crap that has NOTHING to do with a child's education.
