Funny thing, I listed lots of those external solutions to be met with derision.

No, you weren’t. You were met with derision for thinking that because those would be solutions, that means that the way that teachers and administrators act now should change.

A bad system is a bad system. And it’s the fault of everyone down the line for letting it get that bad.

What does whose fault it is have to do with anything? You’re making an argument that zero-tolerance policies are causative. They are reinforcing, I’d agree, but they’re not causative, they came about because of lawsuits and societal pressure. Instead of arguing against the zero-tolerance policies as though they’re the cause, correctly recognize them as a symptom.

By the way, when you say you’re going to leave, actually leave, or it makes you look silly. Or at least make a reasonably good joke about how you’re sticking around.
