This passage explains how negative comments from instructors can discourage students and create an unhealthy classroom environment. Saying things like “No one gets an A in my class” lowers student motivation and creates fear before learning even begins. It also shows how bringing personal problems into the classroom distracts students from learning and weakens the instructor’s professionalism. Instructors should instead create a positive, supportive environment with realistic expectations, clear guidance, and encouragement so students can focus on building skills and succeeding in their careers.
