So Much Unfairness of Things

            In terms of PS’s punishment, I felt that it was fair. He had been going to that school for two years, so he definitely knew the honor code by then. It doesn’t really matter how or why you break the honor code, the code is what it is. He knew what the punishment would be expulsion, but he still cheated. What the dean said is correct. What would the Honor Code be if people done abide by it? I also thought that his friends treated them the way the should have. Charlie didn’t act any different towards PS. I felt the staff was very fair though.  They actually tried to listen to why PS cheated and also tried to understand where he was coming from. We all know if we were in PS’s position that we would want the staff to act like that, and not even listen to what actually happened. Although I was surprised I was glad PS’s dad acted the way he did. No one expected him to be so understanding and kind. Even though he was disappointed in PS I felt like he did a good job in the whole situation. The great thing about all this is it wasn’t a bad expulsion. PS didn’t leave that school being hated. He left being more loved than ever.
