Oh absolutely! I simply want to challenge the disempowering language of bureaucracy that involves saying someone "can't" do something.
There's literally an infinite number of ways to adapt the system to allow for a higher-than-A grade. Choosing to not do it is still a choice.
I'm not claiming they should've done anything different. I'm merely making sure bureaucracy's responsibility in this matter is pinned down.
- watwut 7y ago"I can't do it" is pretty much normal way how to convey not just it is physically impossible. It normally means: * It is not up to me to decide that, it would be overreaching my mandate to make that change. * This is against my moral values. * This is against rules that everyone else bothered to follow. All these are valid choices and right choices. The bureaucracy responsibility in cases like this is literally to resist the pressure to make exception just so someone feels good.
