I understand the importance of compassion, but the trend of shielding young people from the natural consequences of their actions doesn't help anyone.

Yeah, thank you for saying the correct words I was missing. “Natural consequences of actions” is super important for young people. We try to teach young children this in their path of maturity.

Some of it may just be Americans viewing “college” as a four-year excuse to do whatever you want while away from your parents. And it doesn’t help if students never learn important lessons.
