Many people agree with zero-tolerance policies in schools. However, some people disagree with these policies. What is the MOST logical argument against having a zero-tolerance policy?
(1 point)
Sometimes students should automatically be suspended if they make a bad
choice.
Sometimes students deserve to be bullied or harassed by other classmates.
Some students will go unpunished because they are not caught by a teacher.
Some students will be punished because they make an error that meant no harm.
One potential argument against having a zero-tolerance policy in schools is that it does not take into account the specific circumstances or intentions behind a student's actions. Punishing all offenses equally without considering factors such as intent, background, or extenuating circumstances can be unfair and may not effectively address the root cause of the behavior. This approach could also lead to the unnecessary criminalization or harsh punishment of students who may have made a mistake without harmful intent.
