In most cases, the extra chances do not work out and I know it, but I still do it because I am a human being who cares about people. Yes, the rest of my people then think they may have a free pass. It is tougher to make these calls than some realize.
I think that's admirable. Accountability comes into play if you give some people a 2nd chance while denying it towards others.
As a teacher, if I write up a troublemaking student every time he's late to class, but the one time one of my best students shows up late I don't do anything, that's a lack of accountability - some get away with more than others. That was what Marvin was doing, IMO.
