I've always thought that 'No Tolerance' policies were a short-sighted attempt by school boards to inoculate themselves from having to exercise common sense. Would we really want to live in a world where 13-year-old girls are strip-searched for ibuprofen instead of expecting school principles to exercise discretion even if that means occasionally being disappointed by the misuse of said discretion?
Do you know if your school board would allow this shocking treatment if it were your child? Have you asked them?
