Steel Valley Football;1145643 wrote:Ok, so they'd need a list of this diseases. What if a case where a disease they hadn't thought of comes up?
What about an auto accident where there the mom became paralyzed and needed help to eat? Would that apply also? If so, what if the auto accident was a result of the mom doing drugs and she killed someone else in another car?
Hopefully, you see where I'm going w this. There are too many variables so they have a general rule in place and they work from there. Which is exactly what happened in this case. But, instead of thinking it through, people just immediately throw dumb comments around about how dumb and lazy the school ADs are.

High school's aren't prisons. Their purpose isn't to drown kids with rules and make their high school experience crap because them. Special circumstances do come up. Hopefully, you see where I'm going w this.
Steel Valley Football;1145832 wrote:So, Justin, what if what thavoice suggested is true? Should there be a checks and balance system in place? Or should the schools just take every student's claim at face value?
Since you obviously DIDN'T see where I was going w that.

I think its more of a way to avoid racism or sexism or whatever ism some schmuck will bring up because they didn't get what they want. For example, they let this kid walk because he's white, and a black guy misses a day of school to take his mom to the doctor to get viagra for her F buddy, and he's denied walking at graduation. Good ol' Al will be right there with his "This is why blacks aren't all trillionaires because the white man is holding them back".I Wear Pants;1145529 wrote:"Rules are rules" and "zero tolerance" are code for "we are too lazy and stupid to actually think about the proper response to individual cases and situations".
I agree. I got good grades by calling all of my teacher frauds and derelicts. Straight A's through pure intimidation.FatHobbit;1145863 wrote:Meh, if he does the work and gets good grades I don't give a crap if he went to class.

Zero tolerance def is a lazy way to do things, but it is a way to set out the rules in advance so everyone knows the consequences of their actions instead of what MIGHT happen if they take it on a case-by-case basis.sleeper;1145947 wrote:I think its more of a way to avoid racism or sexism or whatever ism some schmuck will bring up because they didn't get what they want.

Zero tolerance may appear lazy, and sure it is, but its a way to avoid liability by hiding behind strict rules.
