We Shall Now Begin Ethics - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - The Qualities of a Teacher

This hits way too close to home. I tried once to help someone with depression.

But, I couldn't save him from himself. There was only so much I could do to someone who didn't wish for my help, that didn't answer to my messages. I said those things to myself, and gave up.

Life is such an ugly joke.
 
I wonder if this will be the only shown student that the teacher can't help. It's honestly pretty sad because I used to be like the boy here.
 
I really like how the teacher actually shows emotion and it's not just a constant poker face
 
Is that younger Takayanagi or is that a woman, I legitimately got confused for awhile there.

Also, whaddayaknow, [female dog]'s wish from last chapter inadvertedly came true...
 
@HolyDemon
its a temporary solution that does not solve ethe fundamental problem. its difficult to sustain such equality and will ultimately lead to more problems.
 
Mixed feelings about this chapter (and this student). Every character has been over the top to better illustrate the conflict, but this one doesn't even seem believable anymore. The situation now has gone way beyond debating whether or not a (metaphorical) hug will help the student. MC is trying to go beyond his limits.
Putting a child like that into a school without the specialised facilities and staff to teach them is unfair on the child and potentially detrimental.
 
Fantastic chapter
Author really didn’t take the easy route with this one
I have personal experience with this very issue as an educator so it’s quite novel seeing it in manga form.
 
i like that this chapter shows that the teacher also has a more human side and does also go through dilemas like other people, great chapter
 
As Bladee, the CEO of Drain Gang once said, "No touching, I find it disgusting".
 
This chapter really hit me hard... as a Professor living in a society where my students are literally struggling to make ends meet and fight being homeless, it’s hard as fuck. I want to save all of them, but the ones that I help cause me to also neglect the ones that I don’t know need help.
 
this reminds me of when in my junior teacher also high school teacher too hugged me (both same gender as me) when i went hysteric at class...it was soothing so then i cried even more. I'm not one who'd depend, stick or rely on others though bcs I tried to solve all my worries alone in my mind. I don't believe it's exactly wrong since in the end every human for themself right? But living in a society as a social being myself guess it was too much for one to handle
