About the time my kids were leaving the school system (their school was 60% minority) the wonderful idea of "zero tolerance" was coming in. The kid who protected himself, got suspended just as the aggressor. I told my kids to protect themselves and that the school would have to deal with me if they gave them a problem. It never came to that but the entire infection of zero tolerance seems to have spread quite widely. Oh, and by the way, the teachers that I knew, were not having any of that stuff, and dealt with things in the proper way. Not a career enhancing move on their parts, but it left me with a great deal of respect for the classroom teachers, and what they have to do to teach.

Thanks, okiedust. :)
