Monday’s Take Away: Thank a Teacher and Have Confidence

  • People sometimes talk about teachers negatively, suggesting that teachers are giving increased amounts of homework as a substitute for teaching in the classroom. The reality is that while it may seem easy to point a finger at the teacher as being the source of the problem, teachers do so much and are paid so little. Next time, rather than making a negative judgment about a teacher, give him/her a hug for all they do for your child.
  • As parents, we need to have confidence in ourselves. Trust yourself and your instinct. Sometimes this might mean going against people in positions of authority, like pediatricians. If you have a feeling that something is off, go with your gut and get a second opinion. You are a great parent!

    In a society based on the rule of law, puneihmsnt, if any, should be decided by legal process, not by private revenge. Therefore, in such a case as this, the convicted man, if not executed, must remain in custody for life, as there will undoubtedly be some who wish to harm him.From that point onwards, the case immediately calls to mind the saying that hard cases make bad law’. If a death sentence is mandatory, the defendant being guilty as charged, there seems no alternative to carrying it out. But what does guilty’ mean here, with the man remembering nothing of his criminal actions, and the court acknowledging that fact?However, If I am the equivalent of home secretary, hearing an appeal for mercy’, that implies that I do in fact have the legal power to grant, or at least to recommend, mercy. If I have not, there is no point in allowing an appeal!It would seem to me preferable for the man to remain in custody in humane but frugal conditions, and to do some work which would contribute to his own support and to the good of society in general. My answer therefore is No: I would rule that capital puneihmsnt is not just in this case’.
