Zero Tolerance in schools helps to control bullying and other bad things going on in school.

But having zero tolerance policies doesn't make the school any safer but does help cut down on the amount of bullying and other bad things that can happen to students in schools.

But the zero tolerance policy will not stop a school shooting for example because if someone is gonna shoot up a school they are just gonna bring the gun to school and start shooting.

A zero tolerance policy is not gonna help in that regard.

But zero tolerance policies in school are still effective at stopping some of the bad things.

I wish we had zero tolerance policies in school when I was going as the bullying wouldn't have been so bad.

But back then I could tell the teacher of the bullying and even the Principal and nothing would be done about it.

Bullying also needs to stop because it does sometimes make some people commit suicide.
