Zero Tolerance

In Leman's report of back to school
success -- sounds great and I would add as number six (6)
encouraging respect amongst students. Harrassment in the
schools is never mentioned but needs to be viewed as part
of educational pusuits. The schools have long lamented
that they can't be responsible for social problems. As
a parent and grandparent I am not asking that. I am asking
that the schools do more than plaster respect posters on
the walls of their schools and make it a mandatory agenda item
for the student body. I have faith in our students and
if they see that there is zero tolerance, not just on paper,
but amongst administration, teachers, and student body, the message
will soon become clear. With that our schools willl definitely
have a successful school year. Let's do it schools ----
Zero Tolerance on Harrassment amongst students.
