In this first episode of the second season of Teaching through Emotions, my co-host Joe and I tell a story about a cheater in a class taught by someone who can’t stand cheating. Our psychodynamic take on the story might surprise you.
* We retell the outrageous lengths our cheater went to.
* We share the teacher’s visceral responses to the cheater.
* We wonder where the cheater’s True Self is.
* We clarify what the teacher’s contributions are and how she can change them.
* We tell how the story ended after the teacher did some emotion work on the problem.
* We suggest axioms teachers can take away from this example.
