| Nov 4, 2023 at 6:57 | comment | added | justhalf | I think indeed there are two sides on this that each needs to be handled, just like the story of a young ruler who found that his father is found guilty, had to judge him and deliver the guilty verdict, but then take his punishment in his stead as his son (let's assume the law in the story allows for taking other's punishment). The comment by Kate is spot on. We need to both do "you are guilty" and "I'm here for you" | |

For better or worse, even the appearance of impropriety can have consequences, and now the student should be aware of that. So the student should have learned from this experience and perhaps remembering that can be some comfort to the educators involved. | |

We can spend some time on the stuff you're finding difficult... " | |

| Nov 2, 2023 at 10:33 | comment | added | JackRed | I understand what you are saying. I think I am taking away points from both your answers. I think compassion is good, and I know myself enough, it is not going to go away. But I do think on some level what ThomasSchwarz said is right, and I have to draw a line somewhere, so I can act responsibly. But I join you on what you said, which is I have some responsibilities as an educator. | |
