A better approach to a problem that will not go away: "Instead of zero tolerance, schools should offer two complementary approaches. First, for students with drug problems, intervention, counseling through Student Assistance Programs, or referral to treatment should be available. Second, "Restorative Practice" programs, in which those who break school rules identify harms they have caused and then make amends, should replace most suspensions and expulsions."
