In the opening paragraphs, what is the effect of focusing
on Nick Laurent rather than focusing on the punished students, their parents, or
the administration?

The effect of focusing on Nick Laurent is to give the reader the viewpoint of the student such that it makes the student to be viewed as the victim.

It informs the reader certain conception of notion about the students and make the students to be viewed as the victims. The purpose of this is to have a saving face for the punished students, their parents, or the administration.

These are meant to reduce potential threats to the other person's face.

It is used to show that "no face threat is intended or desired, and that S in general recognizes H's face wants and himself wants them to be achieved. Such redressive action takes one of two forms, depending on which aspect of face (negative or positive) is being stressed" (Brown and Levinson 1978: 70).

Therefore, the effect of the focus is to appeal to the conception of the reader and by so doing save the face of the offenders.
