I'm not disputing that these are manifestations of the principle that people are lazy, greedy and short-sighted. Just saying that if either one had been different, Taylor's situation would've been a lot better.#2 and #3 are manifestations of the eternally-safe bet that people will do what they can get away with and/or what results in the best outcome for them. These are not unusual, and it's not unreasonable to want people to account for them when designing rules. BB being the stool of the USA is a fair point, I suppose.
(Not that I'm calling any of this unrealistic, just vile. I've been to an RL school with an official policy of "bullying doesn't happen at this school (and therefore if you complain of bullying you're lying)", whose principal behaved more civilly to the girl who broke my arm than she did to me.)
