I don’t see how this is best!
This still empowers the student & their “all important feelings”. It reinforces the fanciful notion “It’s all about me ! Me! My life! My feelings!”. This needs to be put to rest before they become more insufferable! The student ought to be told in no uncertain terms to “suck it up!”. Getting your feelings hurt is life! It will happen and in far more serious ways then what you just experienced. Get used to it! Grow up! Learn to ignore such things if you find them distasteful. The others didn’t! Self reflect on that awhile!
The Schools have given the LIBERAL student way too much power. The attitude is ‘The Customer Is ALWAYS Right!! (unless you are a conservative).
It’s part of the school culture now, baked into the cakes of Job Evaluation. Will take a long time to reverse, if that ever occurs. To reverse, both students and school administrators will have to resume more traditional roles of authority. That can take from 10 to 20 years.
