no zero policy is an attempt to not have the poor little dears held accountable for various behaviors. Ditching a class when they are on campus and have a test. Not turning in assignments on time and demanding more time, schools in this age bend over backward to hold students responsible for their not fulfilling responsibilities. Black brown and white and otherwise.
