Spot on. With all due respect and exemption to the "good" teachers, the government workers in education are obviously deemed so incompetent that they are forbidden to THINK and are thus given black and white rules, processes and procedures to follow for any given circumstance. Zero Tolerance removes the need for any intelligence with regards to good judgement. A monkey can be trained to a zero tolerance policy and a computer could be created to make a better judgement.
These loonatics should mix in some If=Then statements to their ZERO TOLERANCE stupidity.
What they are given is a statement that says
if you use your judgement instead of sticking to zero tolerance,
the district will not back you in any civil case against you.
