re: #113 MandyManners

How so? I’ve taught her to look elsewhere in her pursuit of knowledge than that which is available from her parents. And, I’ve done so without punishing her harshly.

I understand your perspective, and the approach is rational, given the circumstances; but it is still the Excuse for not Teaching why some data is wrong.

The compromise is supposedly that you taught her to “think” by supposedly looking into alternate information, but in this regard that sounds more like wishful thinking without backing evidence, particularly since the grade was given before the followup work was done. Kind of like an excuse.
