Did students abuse the privilege?
- bediger4000 3y agoIf this is a Socratic question, well, you know the answer. If it's in good faith, yes, certainly. Every privilege is abused sometimes. I fully expect to break the speed limit on the way to work today, because my car doesn't have a governor installed. Turn me in, I beg you. To address what I perceive as the issue you raise, so what? If someone needs to hit the head (nausea, diarrhea, something) they need to go. If an act of elimination takes longer than what some uptight school administrator decides is necessary, so what? We as a society tolerate some small abuse so that everything else functions well.
- kube-system 3y agoIt wasn't a Socratic question. I am asking if there are cultural differences that may be relevant to the situation.
- chmod775 3y agoI don't think many would consider it a privilege. Or maybe not having pee on their floor is a privilege the school enjoys, one that could be taken away by a student at any time. The point is that if push comes to shove, the students are going to win this one every time, so it cannot really be a privilege, can it?
- kube-system 3y agoThe existence of hall monitors doesn't require students to pee on the floor. I think you're trying to make a dichotomy out of something that isn't one. Using the restroom isn't a privilege, but being able to wander the halls unsupervised is.
