Ma,
Check this shit out. These people are MORONS. This girl got suspended for ... nothing. She didn't break ANY rules. This zero tolerence crap is totally out of control.
Because of crap like this, not only do I have to teach Alex to read the directions and understand them and count the hours between taking doses, I have to remember to tell her to hide it and only take it in a bathroom stall and never offer it to any of her friends.
Instead of schools running around trying to enforce their retarded rules, why don't they teach kids how to take medicine the right way and read labels? They can give kids a quiz to see if they understand how to take Tylenol responsibly, and if the kids pass the quiz and the parents sign a form, then the kids can be allowed to bring it to school. And they can put a thing on the form saying nobody's allowed to have more than two doses worth with them on school property at any time.
Even that seems over the top to me, but at least it'd be treating kids like people instead of like freaking wild dogs to be contained who can't think for themselves.
Love,
Sam (who can take medicine without supervision)

Yeah. That's the problem when schools write "zero tolerance" rules. A drug is a drug under those rules, and if you have it, you're busted.
We do a lot of dumb things in schools. Many punish people who are genuinely good. Others let the truly evil get away with everything.
Back in the old days, this never would have happened. Of course, back in the old days we didn't teach about health, pregnancy, birth control, sexual identity, tolerance, black history, the Holocaust, the Slave Trade...
