Often, teachers will serve as a "devil's advocate" for the sole purpose of "sparking" a lively discussion. Specific statements/opinions are made that do NOT reflect the teacher's sentiments. What in the world is Diedrich talking about?
During a recent class discussion, many students misconstrued Diedrich's comments regarding the "affair" between Ethan and Mattie. These students actually thought that Diedrich did not have any "problem" with someone CHEATING on his/her spouse and that Diedrich was encouraging Ethan to "cheat" on Zeena. This is far from the truth! If you recall, a "lively" debate did follow his remarks.
A lesson to be learned...
