Topic: We should adopt a zero-tolerance policy in schools
the zero-tolerance policy is a good deterent for kids.
the zero-tolerance policy is not a good thing at all , kids getting punished for their actions and humiliated in front of a audience is really not the great thing to do.
the zero-tolerance policy needs to be abolished as kids will be kids and sometimes they do not have the maturity to know the right thing to do.
there are always exceptions to every rule
there are always exceptions to everything so zero-tolerance policies are not good because it doesn't allow for any exceptions.
there are exceptions to every situation
there are exemptions to any situation
There are other, better alternatives to punish student offenders, such as community service.
there is an increase in anti-social behaviour and lack of respect among schoolchildren these days so a zero-tolerance policy will quickly teach them to respect the rule and people in general
there is no evidence to suggest zero tolerance policies actually work.
there should be no tolerance for infractions of zero tolerance rules in schools. we must enforce rules to ensure the safety of the children and teachers and promote a secure learning environment.
there should be some leeway for pupils otherwise they will have no grounding for future life if all they know is what they can't do and cannot question it.
there should be zero tolerance to prevent such things from happening, like bullying.
there's no guarantee that the policy will be followed.
these policies can needlessly ruin kids lives. kids have no recourse if wrongly accused. they're automatically kicked out of school and have no chance of future success and they're more likely to turn to crime.
these situations need to be handled on a case by case basis because many times, the culprit is not really a threat.
this is the only way to maintain order
this should be enforced to improve the children's discipline.
this should not be adopted as it wont make a difference to pupils who will ignore these rules.
this would ensure everyone got punished if they broke a rule
this would go against allowing people to redeem themselves. especially in school where it's young people who will make mistakes, they should at least be allowed a second chance to change themselves.
this would mean teachers wouldn't have to waste their time trying to work out who started a fight and why.
this would show that schools are serious about stamping out bullying and bad behavior. too many people get away with bad things because schools are scared to punish them.
those who are only trying to defend themselves would also be punished.
too many students come to school under the influence and disrupt the learning process for other students
under zero tolerance, minor infractions may be punished disproportionately.
victims defending themselves shouldn't get the same harsh punishment as the bullies that attacked them in the first place.
violence should never be allowed by children in schools and they should realize that there are real consequences for their actions.
