The Emperors Club
HW – The Emperor’s Club
The Professor had deep and huge problems regarding Cedric’s case. The primary problem was Cedric’s retained bad attitude (lack of focus, disrespectfulness and CHEATING) which he carried on until his grown man years. In my opinion, the professor has been an accomplice to this sad outcome of Cedric when he allowed him to be part of the top three Julius Caesar contestants even if he was not clearly deserving of the position. The bigger mistake was letting Cedric go on through his student life without the professor doing something about his cheating and misbehaviours. Even if the professor caught Cedric cheating and doing pranks and disrespectful acts to his teachers, co-students and to his school, he still tolerated the bad acts of the child and didn’t do anything to correct and sanction Cedric even if he knew that it must be corrected and reprimanded.
Giving Cedric something he doesn’t deserve in the first place and not reprimanding him is a huge crime already. These served as the primary causes for the child to carry on through his wicked character and attitude. Cedric grew up knowing that he could get anything easily even if he didn’t deserve it and that he could get away with anything without him being lectured/ reprimanded to. Everything rooted from his school days.
If I were the professor, I never would have given a child something that he/she doesn’t deserve. Giving something they don’t deserve results to them believing that they could get anything they want without them exerting an honest and diligent work. Also, supposing that I am in the position of catching a child cheating and doing pranks, I would reprimand that child right away and give him/ her due sanction. Letting the child believe that he/ she can get away with anything (even bad behaviour) can lead to disastrous outcomes that they could carry on until they grow older.
Being an educator is tough. We are torn between our love for our students (children) and our attempt
