Karen Castor Dentel, a Maitland Democrat and a public-school teacher, said the zero-tolerance policies often prevent administrators from using their common sense “because their hands are tied. I support the bill so that people will be able to have that flexibility.” So........sort of like mandatory minimum sentences, then? “Rep.

Now, we have to legislate sanity. Thank God for teachers with common sense and for legislators willing to take action while some are schooled in common sense.

Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:20:36 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=167713#comment-251706 >> Elijah Bell Exactly...there are many times when school teachers and administrators are bound by laws and regulations from the state and federal governments to make reports concerning minor incidents where a few years ago a parent meeting or phone call would take care of things. Common sense is still there in the schools but regulated by those who are overly protective. Example, the kindergarten boy suspended for "sexual assault" when he kissed a girl on the cheek and considerations to label him as a sexual offender. Kids can't play Cops and Robbers without getting written up. Wonder if any of our brilliant legislators ever looked at a map of the state of Florida? Even to the most casual observer it looks like -- a GUN. Stay tuned, Florida Legislature may determine the state outline must be changed so not to offend anyone.. >> Elijah Bell

Another big step in the same, right direction would be to authorize school employees who have concealed carry permits to carry while on the job. This would be a powerful deterrent to protect students from would-be shooters. It’s great to see our legislators acting based on common sense.

What gets in their way is the lack of common sense that out "Leaders" fail to exibit. This includes those at the school level all the way to the top in Washington DC.
