Go on over and read Zero Intelligence and then join me in a moan session. Has it really come to this? Arressting a child for scissors? An advil gets you booted? PENCIL SHARPENERS BANNED????
Isn't the educational system suppose to be run by EDUCATED PEOPLE and not kumquats? (sigh. sigh. sigh)
Posted by Rachel Ann at December 14, 2004 02:04 PMThe zero tolerance thing has gotten way out of hand. I could see my 7 year old bringing scissors to school. It's worriesome.
Posted by: deb at December 14, 2004 02:24 PMThanks for the plug, Rachel Ann. I started that site last year when I was continually amazed at the items Jim Taranto wrote up in Opinion Journal and realized that my oldest was fast approaching mandatory school age.

Isn't it crazy?And then they wonder why more and more parents pull their kids out.
Kids are beeing raised with the thought that they are criminasl,period,nothing else to it.You either walk the line or get treated worse then a murderer.
I have no words...I am just scared and hope Iwill NEVER have to put my kids to school!
They are treating us like dummies, and maybe that's what they want!
What did they think when that kid brought the scissors to school, she was gona cut class! Maybe the school is gona teach us kids how to make clean straight cuts through paper with our bare hands!
I guess America should change it's slogan to the land of the not so free, and that's sad!
