Now that'll make your kids want to do the right thing won't it? That's what happens when you adopt inflexible "zero tolerance" policies that remove judgment from the process. Extreme policies lead to unintended consequences. |

Extreme policies lead to unintended consequences. The thing is that the policy is fine, but there are humans carrying out those policies. Do they not have a brain that allows for thinking for themselves? |

That's what happens when you adopt inflexible "zero tolerance" policies that remove judgment from the process. Extreme policies lead to unintended consequences. The thing is that the policy is fine, but there are humans carrying out those policies. Do they not have a brain that allows for thinking for themselves? That's the problem with the policy. "Zero tolerance" forecloses the possibility of human judgment in the process. Such policies as "zero tolerance" and "three strikes and you're out" all sound and look good on paper, because they prevent bleeding-hearts from allowing dangerous or unrepentant miscreants to get away with bad behavior. But then reality intrudes, and reality reminds us that all circumstances are not created equal, and that they do (or should) matter. |
