Oh Gabz! That is horrible. Please tell the nameless FReeper that I hope that she/he is able to straighten this out. The Zero tolerance is being abused by the schools, what a shame.

Yes, it's a public school and it is all about that zero tolerance crapola

But in typical FReeper fashion she is not taking it quietly. There is apparently a pattern of this type of thing in that school district.

In the past 2 years their suspension and expulsion rate has skyrocketed and many of the kids are high achievers - straight A honor roll students.

The interesting thing, it appears that a large number of them are minority. My husband suspects that maybe they are in fear of losing some kind of funding because the minority students are succeeding so well. My friend is of asian descent, her daughter is biracial.

It's an absolute mess.

But we're FReepers - we do not remain silent.
