Zero tolerance never made any sense to me. When I got bullied and beat up, I'd still get punished, so it basically encouraged me to be violent back since the punishments were the same. It also kinda went directly against all the anti bullying stuff the schools would be pushing for.

    it's not about making sense.

    it's about absolving administrators of accountability. when someone violates the policy they just point to it and claim there is nothing they can do, it's beyond their control.

    who do you think sets up these polices? the admins themselves.
