I highly recommend the “school sucks” podcast series; it will reveal that the public school model was intentionally designed to do the opposite of what it currently claims to do; it is intentionally bad.

It’s almost that bad at our school. A kid got suspended for holding “weed” for another guy, and this stuff happens occasionally.

At the Highschool in the city I used to live in there was a funny after affect to a Zero Tolerance policy.

A girl in school was having some bad cramps from “that time of the month” & another girl gave her a Midol (I think that is how it is spelled). Both girls were suspended for “passing out drugs” & “accepting drugs” or something like that. Anyways, a bunch of the students, not knowing the details, figured that Midol must give you some kind of drug high. For a brief bit of time there were a bunch of students taking menstrual cramp medicine trying to get high!

One thing that would be interesting is if non-diabetic kids brought insulin to school.

After all, insulin is taken by some bodybuilders to increase their anabolic phase. Little Hercules may have taken some.

It’s a small wonder that nobody has thought to use the mighty stick that is the American’s with Disabilities Act. Diabetics are tied to their testing supplies and (in some cases) insulin just as much as a paraplegic is tied to their chair, probably more so. In theory a paraplegic can still crawl around, a diabetic without the tools to monitor blood sugar might die. Adjustment to so called “Zero Tolerance” (Zero Sense?) rules falls under Reasonable Accommodation.
