When the school implemented draconian rules - like banning phones completely and giving detention for any minor infraction - students and parents protested. The draconian measures were too strict and didn’t account for individual circumstances. Draconian policies often cause more problems than they solve because they’re too harsh and inflexible.

当学校实施严厉的规则——比如完全禁止手机,对任何轻微违规都给予留校——学生和家长抗议。严厉的措施太严格,没有考虑个人情况。严厉的政策通常会造成比它们解决的问题更多的问题,因为它们太严厉和不灵活。
