Very important aspects to consider here. Personally, I have always been uncomfortable with the “publicly shame teachers for publicly shaming students” reactions out there that many have. They seem to lump the teachers that do it into one “bad” pile and then dehumanize them without considering the human imperfections these teachers deal with, that we all deal with. Of course, we all do that lumping as well, and I am as guilty of lumping people into groups to criticize them as much as anyone else. I guess what I see missing the most is the public acknowledgement of the struggle like you have done here, Maha. Thank you for stepping out to highlight the grey areas in something that so many people try to paint with black and white strokes.
