$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

Here’s an email exchange with a friend in response to my post last night about zero-tolerance policies in schools:

Friend: “Zero tolerance” is right up there with “everything is on the table” in terms of laziness in terms of making policy.

Me: And “across the board cuts.” Hey, this is fun! We should make a list of the top ten lazy policy slogans.

Friend: I’ve always liked “doing nothing is not an option.”

But that’s only four, and a top ten list needs ten. Help us fill out our list in comments.
