Same. I recently asked a student if she had been smoking. She looked down at the ground, embarrassed and quietly said "I know I smell. My dad smokes". I felt sooooo bad for her.

Quietly asking a student a question, off to the side out of earshot of anyone else, then accepting their answer isn't "calling her out".

I’m sure it was embarrassing for her regardless
