I encourage this type of education. Kids need to be held accountable for their actions, just like everyone else.

Normalize humility

Germany.

However, the complaint was not directed at the grade itself, but rather at a violation of the examination regulations, which do not allow for a retake of an oral exam simply because the student is too nervous to pass. That is why my friend was unable to secure another exception on the student's third attempt - everything unfortunately had to be strictly correct.

I don’t teach myself, but I’ve heard from various friends that lawsuits over the most absurd things are definitely a thing in Germany, too. As a result, teachers have far fewer freedoms than they did ten years ago - and also face much more bureaucratic red tape to document everything in a way that reduces the risk of lawsuits.

I’m not really familiar with that area myself, but unfortunately, I can easily imagine how frustrating it must be for the teachers.

Edit: Here is an article that describes the problem (in German).

That kid must have been livid with his parents.

And I bet he's too terrified to tell them.

I get the distinct impression being yelled at by his parents are why he was so nervous of speaking in public. It was the case for me as a kid

That's a bingo. Same here.

He'll get his payback when he never comes back and goes through the legal loopholes to change his identity.

Fear makes for interesting motivations.
