One of the things I find alarming is the Code of Conduct handbooks they give out every year. Just like our law codes anymore, most of the rules they have are completely subjective. They can be "disciplined" for just about anything under this zero tolerance BS, if you don't like it you can talk to the childrens services judge. I wonder whose side he is going to take?

Don't bother to talk to the judge. Just get your kid out of there. Student handbooks get larger and larger every year. Parents would have to attend many seminars (or have a lawyer go over the handbook with a fine-tooth comb) to understand all the ramifications of the various petty rules and regulations. Sometimes, it's just easier (and safer for your child) to pick up and leave than to subject your child to the whims of an idiotic school administrator hell-bent on "zero tolerance." When choosing a school for your child, perhaps you should ask how many children were "referred to the judge"? If it's more than just a few, the school has a "major" crime problem. Do you want your child in that type of atmosphere?
