Topic: We should adopt a zero-tolerance policy in schools
by adopting a zero-tolerance policy in schools, we can be certain that that particular student will not be able to influence other students.
by adopting zero tolerance policy the threat and action of punishment will discourage rule breaking.
certain items and weapons etc. have no place in a school and only create problems
children are children and they are going to learn from their mistakes. they don't always get it right the first time and we have to allow them to make mistakes more than once.
children are losing their respect for authority at an alarming rate, this is the only way we can halt that decline
children are not fully developed and can make errors of judgement
children are still growing and forming their own personalities - a zero-tolerance policy allows no room for mistakes, at a time when children are testing boundaries and they need some flexibility to develop
children deserve a lot of chances and need to learn from their mistakes in a kind and understanding manner
children need clear boundaries, now more than ever as we see them losing all respect for elders and teachers
children need strong discilpine, and a zero-tolerance policy would send a message that the school will not tolerate any bad behaviour
children need to learn boundaries and consequences for their actions. they learn faster if there is immediate repercussions than if you let them do it over and over again.
children should learn the rules and consequences of doing something serious which a zero-tolerance policy exemplifies
children still have developing brains and can't make fully rational adult-like decisions, having a zero-tolerance policy is too harsh on them when the children can be taught what was wrong and forgiven instead
children will make mistakes, because they are not mature.  we have to allow some discretion in the hands of the administrators
children's brains are no fully developed yet and as such shouldn't have their lives ruined over small 'crimes' in school.
clear boundaries and expectations must be set to protect students.
dangerous items should not be allowed in schools because it is endangers the students and faculty and a strict punishment would help prevent these items from being brought.
each act by a student has to be considered individually
each case needs to be reviewed independently and punishments then established.
each case needs to be reviewed to decide appropriate  discipline.
each situation is different & a zero tolerance policy is not equipped to deal with variables in different situations
ero-toleraanfce creates a stable learning environment and encourages better behaviour
ero-tolerance policies are to rigid and the same punishment is doled out regardless of the misbehavior.
even children know the rules and a zero-tolerance policy improves the school environment for compliant students.
even good people make mistakes so zero-tolerance is an unfair policy.
everybody deserves a second chance especially children.
everyone makes mistakes and should be given a second chance which zero-tolerance policies will not allow.
expelled children often don’t finish their education
