4_2_it: that policy is unacceptable because its a zero tolerance policy. zero tolerance policies are necessarily inefficient decision making systems. i think everyone sees why so i won't explain further.

no, i don't think everyone sees why. i do not.

i think zero tolerance policies are excellent. things such as, if you are convicted of murder on three separate occasions you must spend life in jail. i think that's a good zero tolerance policy.

Thats the 3 strike policy.

Zero tolerance policies = Zero thought.

Like your little girl accidently leaves a baby aspirin in her coat and gets sent up the river/expelled because there is "zero tolerance for drugs" in school.

ok but this cell phone 30 day situation is not a zero tolerance policy, it's a three strike policy
