Should consequences for mistakes be made known to the general public before any mistake is committed? I disagree. I believe that a consequence should only be carried out, judging by the severity of the mistake. For example, if you were to skip a lecture to sleep, should you be given the same punishment as if you skipped a lecture to study for an important examination that would have serious implications to your future? By setting out a list of consequences for any wrong actions, the room for error, the room for justifiable challenges against the rules is being eliminated. Students are told that irregardless of the reason, they are to not commit any offences that breach the school’s code of conduct or else they would face a standard consequence, but sometimes, there should be room for breaching these conducts. Rules should not be created for offences before they are created, but instead be should be carried out only after the offence is committed, based on the justification of the students, his/her credibility and also the severity. It is easy to blame one for breaking the law regardless of his/her reasons, but more difficult to understand their predicament.
