Because of this, the boy received a white ticket. Another student, a 7th grader, has received multiple white ticket slips and was assigned to a table on Monday, May 15th. But as teachers turned away from that area, he and another student got up and walked around the cafeteria for the remainder of the middle school lunch period.

  • The Zero Tolerance Policy: Justified or Unreasonable?

    2053 Words  | 5 Pages

    The zero tolerance policy has become a national controversy in regards to the solid proven facts that it criminalizes children and seems to catch kids who have no intention of doing harm. Although, there has been substantial evidence to prove that the policies enforced in many schools have gone far beyond the extreme to convict children of their wrongdoing. The punishments for the act of misconduct have reached a devastating high, and have pointed students in the wrong direction. Despite the opinions of administrators and parents, as well as evidence that zero tolerance policies have deterred violence in many public and private schools, the rules of conviction and punishment are unreasonable and should be modified.

    In Tom Barret’s case, he ended up in jail three times for stealing a $2 dollar can of beer, and not paying the ticket for his action on time. As outrageous as it may seem, to the court that’s a very serious offense. Meaning that his actions were most likely labeled under “violent crime”, which would mean he’d have to be “using force” or “proposing some kind of threat”. Which he wasn’t, but obviously it was so serious that he had to be arrested multiple times for it. Like Tom Barret’s incident, Harriet Cleveland lost practically everything due to owing a ticket.
