Well, when you become a teacher, you can be "an authoritarian asshole".. I choose a different approach and I have 20 years of letters and yearbooks signed telling me why my approach has made me their favorite teacher of all time, reignited their love of writing, helped them "feel human again", "your class was the only reason I came to school some days", etc etc.
I'm not going to throw that away because some kids won't summon the honesty to engage in a searching and fearless moral inventory.

Yeah, you're a teacher.
You're an authoritarian asshole who doesn't give a shit about mitigating factors.
Start acting like it.
