So much unfareness of things

No, I feel that his punishment was not fair because they could not relate and did not try to understand where he was coming from. Yes, cheating was bad, but if they had taken the time to find out and understand the pressure he was under the outcome could have been different. If their decision was the same then that is fine but they did not think or attempt to realize his situation. He still deserved to be punished but they should have researched and let him tell them why he did it. He went in to the office and they already had their minds made up that he would be expelled. They had no idea of his side of the story.
I felt that his father treated him well. His father understood that he had not been loving and had put too much pressure on his soon to do well. Some of his friends were good but some were not. I thought the faculty was awful. They were disrespectful and not any bit sympathetic. They did not care that he was leaving. They did not respect him enough to understand why he cheated or what caused him to cheat or how he cheated. They were stubborn and did not change their minds.
