I wonder what would have been the result if you had made an
appointment with the parent, who faild to show and was fined $500 as a
result? Would the fine have straightened out this problem child? Or
would it have bred more resentment in him, leading to even worse
consequences?


To do nothing in fear of "worse consequences" is a cowards attitude,

So now your level of discourse is reduced to name calling. Yeah, that's
a persuasive argument. NOT.

Horse****! ... nothing in that sentence refers to you. You imagined any
likeness, and only you know if the shoe pinches.


a non-starter for solving any problem, and a good way to guarantee their
continuance.

My point was that in this example, a system of punishing the parent for
not meeting with the teacher would not have benefitted the student.

Your "point" is actually blunt supposition/opinion, to which you are
certainly entitled,

The example was that of a child who was a sociopath.

You on the right thread? Read the subject line to refresh your memory.

but which provably has no basis whatsoever in fact.

Now who's dealing in rank speculation? Please explain how taking money
from a parent who misses a meeting with a child will benefit a
sociopathic child.

You're losing sight of what this thread is actually about,

LOL ... never mind. Go back the first sentence and try again.
