There's a huge difference between talking about something that was common to many people or talking about something generically vs. singling out one person, even anonymously. | |

You cannot show a student's graded work without their prior permission in a way that other students may be able to decipher the source, even when you think that you have gone to great lengths to make the source anonymous. | |

Handwriting, grammar and other aspects of the work (even a choice of font or formatting style of a digital document) can all give clues into the author’s identity, and besides, it’s plain disrespectful to use someone’s work without their permission to make a point. Discuss common mistakes, by all means, but don’t flash someone’s assignment on the screen without asking them first. | |
