It's not like it matters terribly much, it's one of those 'let's fix it if we can be arsed to' things.

I often feel that when parents or administration want students to 'talk it out' and 'come to an agreement' or whatever... it's a way of avoiding accountability. Like they want to have their happy happy fun time dinner and call it handled? When really, getting stuff handled and taking accountability would be having a paper trail and being honest with the school administration.
