    Zero tolerance policies was enforced because of violence inside of schools and to treat every student fairly. However, since these policies were sanctioned it was everything but equal to the students. Students of color were far more targeted than white students when it came to disruptances or problems or even had a heavier consequence. In the article of “Tracing the School-to-Prison Pipeline from Zero-Tolerance Policies to Juvenile Justice Dispositions” Aaron Curtis explains, “A zero-tolerance…

    As a new principal at Howard L. Jones High School, I have many challenges facing me on my first day. Jones High School uses the zero tolerance policy when it comes to discipline, and that policy can create a lot of tension among stakeholders. My school is diverse, and that in itself is new to this school. The first problem I am facing is our district’s drug policy and the young lady that was sent to the office because of a mysterious pill that was found in her possession that supposedly is for…

    My high school has a zero-tolerance policy when it pertains to fighting. Therefore, it does not matter if you are not the instigator of a fight; it is an automatic suspension. Unfortunately, on two occasions, I was suspended and both times for fighting. The first incident occurred in October 2016, because female students were repeatedly bullying and calling me derogatory “black” names due to my dark skin tone. The second time was at a football match, hosted at another school in November 2017,…

    Zero tolerance policy requires school officials to hand down specific, consistent, and harsh punishment, usually suspension or expulsion when students break certain rules (Lawyers.com, 2018).

    Parks Philosophy Professor Fairbanks November 9, 2014 Tolerance The question if tolerance is always a good thing, or if tolerance isn’t always a good thing shouldn’t be a question. There are very few things in this world that are completely black and white and thus absolutely rarely have a place in it. Unending tolerance just for its sake will inevitably open people(s) up to exploitation by the sophist’s idea of the superman. So, tolerance is not always a good thing. History is rife with…

Instead of halls, filled with ancient historical artifacts, I saw the unique interactive exhibits that are based on high-tech, dedicated to two main…
