"foods of minimal nutritional value" dose that all so apply to minimal education value?

Schools have become a sterile environment; no contact, no praise no ___________, fill-in the blank

Texas has money for this idiotic c***???? Were all Texas school officials hatched as adults???? We used to share bubble gum that we had already half chewed. To the little girl - trust me the rest of the world is not so narrow minded, hang in there until you are a bit older then you can have the choice of sticking around and voting out the idiots or you can move to another state where school officials do not store their brains in the same place they sit.

It seems like a good idea that when schools need to make budget cutbacks, the idiots that this story highlights would make for the first on the chopping block. These morons are what give public education a bad name.

What has happened to common sense?

No wondering children think adults are complete idots. I think another point that we are missing is that even if this was in fact against school policy isn't the punishment a little harsh. I mean, who made the rule that a child would get in school suspension for a week along with being segregated during lunch and recess over a piece of candy? A little harsh don't you think?

Zero tolerance policies are put in place by people too stupid to think once in a while.

The excuse that they are to combat "drugs & violence" in schools is exposed as ignorance, once cases like this start to show up.

All of these "zero tolerance policies" should be ended and school authorities should be made to use their heads for something other than a hat rack!!
