  3. Problem or Solution?? • "Zero tolerance is a political response, not an educationally sound solution," said Dr. Russell Skiba, author of the report. "It sounds impressive to say that we're taking a tough stand against misbehavior, but the data says it simply hasn't been effective in improving student behavior."

  4. Alternative Strategies • Involve teachers, administrators, students, families, and their communities • Early, interactive programs • Anti-bullying, anger management and peer mediation • Building student-teacher relationships • Challenging curriculum and teacher training in classroom management and cultural competence Schoolswill be safer and more flexible learning environments.

  5. Punishment • Arnold Goldstein, director of the Center for Research on Aggression at Syracuse University and a strong supporter of zero-tolerance policies, says the key to making the policy work is giving principals the discretion to exercise fairness and common sense concerning each individual case.
