So is zero tolerance really zero tolerance where drugs are not tolerated? Or does it become, we will suspend them for twenty days, and allow them back into the same exact school that they brought the illegal substance to before? The only lesson that is really getting sent, is it's not ok to bring them, and we say we are going to really take a tough stance on this, but if you ask nicely, we will allow you back onto the same campus, to repeat the same transgressions or worse, again. Zero Tolerance has NO teeth, or is it the ones that make the decisions about it. If you tell me that I am going to be suspended/expelled for one calendar year, and that turns into a twenty day hiatus at an alternative school. That is not zero tolerance, it is a joke, and the kids know this. Get some backbone and have zero tolerance really mean zero tolerance!
