Comments on: 9-Year-Old Nearly Suspended for Tiny LEGO “Weapon” http://mygloss.com/mama/school/9-year-old-nearly-suspended-for-tiny-lego-weapon/ Motherhood, Parenting, Baby & Kids Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Amanda http://mygloss.com/mama/school/9-year-old-nearly-suspended-for-tiny-lego-weapon/#comment-477 Amanda Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:24:48 +0000 http://mygloss.com/mama/?p=1345#comment-477 I absolutely hate these zero tolerance policies. I understand it makes things easier for administrators of schools and such, but they do not realize how many innocent lives they will ruin because they can't take the extra time to investigate and be subjective. Zero tolerance only teaches intolerance, and that is not a good thing to exhibit. I mean seriously, this kid had no intentions of threatening people with a lego gun. There is no ability that he could even use it as a weapon. I am glad he didn't get suspended but to be put in the spot that he might have would be ridiculous. The kid was just playing by himself with legos, being a good kid, so people should just let him go. I absolutely hate these zero tolerance policies.
