Give leeway to teen errors

I READ with interest the repartee “Mistakes can be made but be accountable too”. This is a peculiar assessment of my letter. I called for accountability in my letter – I suggested three points deduction as a weightage for fairness and as a method to balance human nature and the human future.

And, what I called for in the letter was about reflecting the context, intention, future and emotion with the errors made by our 17-year-olds in the SPM 2017 English. I called for fairness and justness in deciding a 17-year-old’s future.
