Why must we all suffer because of one Slytherin's mistake? I do not want Professor Kettleburn reading the letters I send home or inspecting the care packages my parents send me. It hardly seems fair that we're all made to pay for her transgressions.

	Perhaps members of Slytherin should take responsibility for the evil they spread in that house. Maybe this will wake people up that their actions are not appropriate. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It hardly seems fair that you blame every Slytherin for one's action. Surely not all of them "spread evil"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right, because that was the only action Slytherin has taken recently that one could hold issue with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Painting a swath of blame or innocence in either direction isn't the solution here. I merely suggested that not all of them were guilty of such atrocities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So I suppose you think we should do away with House points at all? The entire point is to socially condition us through using a punishment/reward that effects the whole house. If one person acts poorly it reflects on all. Instead of whinging about how unfair it is, perhaps you should take it upon yourself to speak out about how awful that person acted and ensure it never happens again.

	I am not a Slytherin at all. Hence my original post, which simply complained about the owl post restriction for all houses, including my own. It had nothing to do with house points. Never mind that it seems a bit ludicrous to suggest that any one of us could have single-handedly stopped the attacks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something like that only happens when students think they can get away with it. Hopefully now they won't think that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Because like it or not, we are a community, and the actions of one effect us all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We are not all rewarded when some among us do well, yet we are all punished for others' wrongdoings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When one of us does well, we all do better. That's what living in a community is, Anonymous. (Reply to this) (Parent)
