They tolerate what they want to tolerate by pretending not to notice: drugs, sex, porn, etc.
I once got into trouble (as a high school teacher) for reporting students drug use to their parents and recommending some home drug testing.
A lot of local schools close their eyes to electronic misbehavior (sending and receiving sexual text messages and nude pics), sex at school, smoking, etc.
It is appalling what schools tolerate. And then when there is something they are really concerned with liability over, they feign zero tolerance and suspend all the participants without any due consideration to the true nature of the conflict.
Homeschooling is always an option because the values and tolerance can relfect the values of the parents rather than the warped values of the liberals in charge of the school district. And trust me, the values of the district are always liberal. My daughter got a "disciplinary action report" in one of the (supposedly) most conservative schools in a conservative district because she dared to wear a red armband supporting a prolife message.
Trust me, they are not really trying to teach your children math, english, history, and science. They are trying to impart their warped values.
