Zero-tolerance policies criticized - baltimoresun.com

More about the stupidity at the top levels in our schools. Imagine handing out a suspension for a girl having pepper spray in her purse. You suspend for USING it indiscriminately, not having it. Idiocy.

This was in the article: ""...It goes against the objective of schools, and that is to graduate students." Well, I thought the objective was teaching/learning, not to simply graduate them? If this is the case, just teach them the GED test in 9th grade and be done with it.

And MD citizens could correct this through voicing their opinions, but it never happens. We may get the government we deserve, but with teachers so stupid, do our children - who can hopefully make a better world - get the education they deserve?
