Yesterday I had to call a student into my office and give them a kind of "warning", but my heart wasn't in it. I was in too much of a good mood, and didn't give myself enough time to come down and be like "Now, here's the way it's gonna be..." so instead I just said something lame like "Let's keep it positive this year" and I think I inadvertently creeped the student out. Tom's handling of Julie's transgression was even-handed and expert in its execution.
