Click on the keyword “zero tolerance” and you will find hundreds—maybe even more than a thousand—similar stories on just this site. It truly amazes me how common sense is so lacking among certificated public school personnel, the vast majority of whom hold advanced degrees.

As a retired teacher I can tell you what “zero tolerance” means. It means that the school board does not have to exercise any judgement in the matter. It is automatic. They are off the hook and can claim, it is “policy” and out of
their hands. They don't want any responsibility. They are gutless cowards. Parents need to fight this policy but they usually do not since we are a nation of pus%^#s. I am amazed most people can deal with seeing their shadow.
I thank God every day I am out. I am not alone.
Experienced teachers are leaving in droves.
