I do, he's OK. The principal handled the whole thing really bad. First, she hugely overreacted to a relatively minor childish offense and then equally badly under-reacted when she found out who did it. Kinda like "Scent of the Woman" but from the opposite side.
I see this not about the potential outcome of rehabilitation efforts customized for a specific offender but about the judicial consideration for circumstances not applying to all equally. That is a big problem. I hope you are not suggesting that in my example, I should have been thankful to the kid for fessing up and to the principal for not expelling me after all.
