It's not just Georgia. Zero tolerance/zero brains has infected most public schools in the country.

All it does is destroy kid's lives and makes them hate the public schools and those who run them, something that public school officials should worry about in the future, considering these people are going to have kids one day, and there are new educational options on the horizon all the time.

Don't think that some parents who can't afford private school and turn to homeschooling do it because they feel they can give their kids a better education. They just want their kids out of the public school system because they don't want an incident which was considered insignificant ten years ago to become a potential detriment to their children's future.

It also makes public school officials look like blithering idiots, but if they don't care if they look like flaming you-know-whats, that's okay I guess.

The demographic make-up of Georgia metropolitan public schools doesn't look much like the overall demographic picture of the state, expecially economically. Almost anyone in a metropolitan area who really cares about their kids' education, safety and moral character, and can afford to do so, sends their kids to private schools, regardless of race, or else homeschools.

And it's not that public school officials don't care that they look like blithering idiots: they don't even realize that they do. So many think they actually command respect in the community. It would be pitiable if it weren't so damaging for the kids.
