Thanks useful information: 11
I know exactly how you feel. In my line of work, almost every decision I make will impact on someone's life. There are many times when I feel that action should be taken, or action should not be taken, however the evidence I have points in the opposite direction. It's a huge conflict, and one that usually ends up in a big argument with my superiors. Often I have to choose the course that I don't want to take, but it's something that you get used to.

Look at it this way
She probably did better because of all the encouragement her parents gave her.
She needed to learn the lesson that it is her doing it - not her parents.
It is better that she learn this now and not later.
It's all good. A little pain for a while, but a lesson she very much needed to learn.

Good news...
The girl saw me today and, in an awkward teenager way, apologised for the awkward position she placed me in and hoped the lesson would sink in. Not sure if this was a forced (by parents or principal) apology but, it doesn't really matter - it took guts to give it
I am not yet so old that I have forgotten how dumb a teenage I was.

Having served in the police force for 15 odd years I had those types of decisions just about everyday. And not always did I take the black and white approach. Sometimes people make bad choices and get caught. Does the puishment fit the crime? Would a verbal caution suffice? Do you have proof beyond reproach? Would this proof stand up in a court of law? In most cases before the higher courts the police are only right about 50-60% of the time as the defendant gets off. Yeah dream on. I lived with my deciscions right or wrong and am happy with what I did. I don't envy your position as mostly your hands are tied but rules are made to be broken. Rember hoesty is not the best policy it is the only policy. And of course it is not wrong to do wrong only to get caught.....keep up the good work because we need educators not teachers cheers Brian
