Abstract
It’s a scary thing that we have been so enamored of late of the concept of zero tolerance. …It doesn’t give us the tools to deal with the self-contempt of the most wounded kids we work with, because the behavior of self-contempt, the expression of it, often requires us to spit a kid out before we can every read the message he is doing his best to deliver.
