should there be a way for a person to come back from mistakes, poor judgement, immaturity, stupidity?

I certainly hope so. There should be a price to pay for sure, contrition, apologies, etc, but yes I believe people deserve second chances!

What happened to; Learn from mistakes - don't make the same mistake twice. Sure, some people are psychos, but most are just idiots.

At this point, I think it is pure laziness and a force of habit. It is much easier for these elementary teachers to just show them show to do it rather than teach them why it works. From a very young age, the students are learning how to copy algorithms instead of how to figure them out themselves. The result it a bunch of copy cats that can't think for themselves and that is a scary proposition (and exactly what Rockefeller envisioned).
