ZERO TOLERANCE



Am I wrong to find this funny?

Today I received a voice mail from the Vice Principal at my son's school.

My son was issued a detention that is to be served on Tuesday.

10 different scenarios flew through my head at once. What did he do? Was he fighting? beat up a teacher? cheating? issued a bomb threat? WHAT HAPPENED???!

Mr. Vice Principal then told me, in that authoritative way that Vice Principals speak, "the school has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for gum chewing."

What a Drama Queen.

Rules are rules, but really, is all this drama necessary?

Apparently, I am not alone!!!
