Yes, is it really so hard to understand that "ZERO TOLERANCE" does not have to equal "MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT" for all offenses. There is a difference in making sure that rules like this are enforced in every case and expelling a kid who has a different understanding of what makes a eating utensil and what makes a weapon the the school district does. This could have so easily been handled with a confiscation of the tool to be returned to the parent with an explanation of why the student should not bring it to school again. That is still zero tolerance and leaves the school the option of expelling the kid that tries to bring a katana to slice his 'sushi' i.e. the big kid bullying him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
