exactly, "zero tolerance policies" are tools of the bullies and their parents to double-bully the kids who are on the outside of the social circle.  Be leery of schools that have a "Code of Character" comprised of vague platitudes like "thou shall not offend or cause pain to anyone in the community."  Kid A will hound kid B for months until kid B loses his cool and says or does something regrettable, and then kid B's parents will be in the head of school's office playing defense and begging not to get kicked out, while Kid A and his friends are laughing their butts off, and Kid A's parents are at the country club, virtue signaling about how great he/she is doing at St. Albans, NCS, Landon, Prep, etc.  And the nicer and more expensive the school, the more donor families there are and the more common this cycle.
If you have concerns about bullying and you do not think that your son/daughter will play the bully/victim game effectively, do not go near a prestigious, expensive DC private school.  And run away extra fast if they talk about Code of Character and similar policies.[/quote]
