Respect yourself and your former students enough not to act like the fact that you once knew someone gives you the authority to cosplay like you're spanking them in front of the class.https://twitter.com/GilmoreGlenda/status/1223640064166510594 …

Yeah, sorry, any teacher who takes to twitter to reprimand a former student is sending the message to all current students that they better not step out of line with her political orthodoxy or she will twitter-own them.

I guess in this case Noah was speaking as if he were a professional and the critique was epistemic with the extra knife twist hm

Honestly I think that kind of criticism should stand or fall on its own merits and not with the "I was your teacher" knife twist that drives viral content

I wonder if there's a kind of hmmm I can see a teacher feeling betrayed maybe? Story archetype: great wizard finally has an apprentice worthy of his tutelage Apprentice grows to become a monster Wizard obliged to undo what he has done See also: Kill Bill
