but younger generations of professors/assistants are so keen on drawing assumptions and moralising that it's genuinely disturbing and embarrassing tbh. Embarrassing because they're just so wrong about why students & humans "fail" in a way that truly shows teaching wasn't really for them

and what if she's a good mother but literally bad at everything else. what then?? It's just so weird that that might be the first line of defense, and I get why this happens but sanctity of motherhood can sometimes limit how fully a character can be understood
