Zero tolerance in schools, what assholes came up with this stuff?

[fumsm]

This has to be the stupidest fucking rule I have ever heard of. Scuse my french. But for Christ sake, they are ruining kids lives with expulsions and worse, destroying families through news paper reports, which are typically in accurate, for no good reason. Why in Gods name should all "mistakes" be treated equally. They are kids, but you would think they are criminals. Our politicians walk away scot free for much much worse, police cover up mistakes and move on, the kids, destroyed. I just don't get it. I'm all for punishment to fit the :issue", but that's not how it works. Our schools have become prisons, with little or no regard for the children's education. This shit has to change.
