Kids Praised for Being Smart Are More Likely to Cheat

I got a parking ticket for parking on the wrong side of the street during plow season (even days one side, odd the other). I had habitually moved my car on the 31st-1st transition.

The judge or magistrate reduced the fine by the maximum amount they could when I explained that I had made a simple error while trying to follow the parking rule.

You proactively took measures to address the ticket in a timely fashion, which is not at all what my comment meant to address. Good on you, though.

I understood it wasn't exactly the scenario you described, it's just that the judge gave me partial credit for trying to park correctly.
