    “zero tolerance” in public schools is 100% copout cowardice from administrators who would rather hide behind policy instead of having to earn their six-figure incomes by making the basic fundamental decisions that the job duties entail. All principals everywhere are midwit cowards.

      It’s a pro bullying policy designed to hurt bullying victims, who are the same people who are oppressed as adults and that’s not by accident

      While I agree with the assessment of zero tolerance policies, there isn’t a soul in our entire school district that is making 6 figures. Most of the faculty in our district are barely scraping by because the voters believe this collective delusion that schools have more money than god and are full of wasteful spending. That is a lie promulgated by conservatives to defund schools.

      Stop feeding that lie.

        I am a public school advocate from MI where every single administrator in the state makes six figures as well as many gym teachers who don’t yet grasp the English language’s most basic homophones.

        This is reality. I think public school admin has collectively failed our country as much if not more so than any profession.

          I am a (recently) former school board member of my district in MI and personally reviewed the compensation packages for our staff.

          Quit spreading bullshit.
