[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world you get lots of second chances. If a brief sucks, somebody sits down with you, explains why, and you re-do it. Or if you submit it, a law clerk figures out what the hell you were trying to say and the judge rules based on the law; you don’t get fired for having bad citations. Or if you do, you find another client.

Sure you’ll get fired for not showing up or for making a really massive mistake. But the stakes are rarely as high as you’re making them out to be.

There is nothing about the real world that high schools need to be prepared for that precludes retakes. [/quote]
This. I don’t know where the idea that there are no redos in adult life comes from. [/quote]

No one said there are never any redos. But, those of you thinking you can just have second chances at anything you want, or most things, are kidding yourselves. And, in some of the examples given (tax day) that is available to everyone and is known well in advance. [/quote]
