One size fits all? NOT!
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) I thought of her
one-size-fits all story when we were talking
about "zero tolerance." If this were not a school
paper, I would just say that it "sucks," and
leave it at that, because I think that the zero
tolerance policy is similar to that one size fits
all shirt deal. I can understand that parents
have been freaked out by all the violence stuff
that has been on the news and at other schools.
It is a scary thing. I agree with that. I do
not think that guns or alcohol belong in school,
but our school handbook says that there will be
"zero tolerance" for "unacceptable behavior;
disrespect to staff," or guns. Anybody who needs
to bring a gun to school has zero brain cells -
so they should get into trouble for that
