Third Despair [Video]

[zetsubo_sensei]

[More or less a very random and sudden turning on of the video. All you can really see is Haru, though, god knows why, but it's definitely Itoshiki's frequency, so--Ah! Here's his voice now!]

Haru, I've been noticing you haven't been paying attention in class

[...] Specifically, you're falling asleep.

I'd pay more attention if you'd reward me

I won't ever learn without rewards.

[zetsubo_sensei]

You're not going to learn from rewards; punishment is the only effective learning outcome.

or rather not-learning outcome.

[moarcowbell]

Hugs are effective.

[zetsubo_sensei]

They give false impressions.

[forged_anew]

Just ignore him. If you want to keep your sanity, that is.

[zetsubo_sensei]

I discovered that even before you arrived here, Zuko-kun.

[forged_anew]

[soft laugh]

Oh, okay then. I take it he's not very studious?

[zetsubo_sensei]

In his sleep schedule, yes.

[13sugars]

Just give him a hug, it won't kill you, Mr. Nozomu.

[zetsubo_sensei]

I am not hugging one of my students!

[13sugars]

Why not?

[zetsubo_sensei]

It would throw off the balance of the student teacher relationship.

[pagesniffer]

Do you often have similar trouble disciplining students?

[what's that, he sounds amused at your expense? well...]

[voice]

[zetsubo_sensei]

Ah, it's not the discipline I'm used to, it's the behavior.

[He'll be ignoring that tone of yours]

[voice]

[pagesniffer]

Your students have a tendency to repeatedly exhibit undesirable behavior?

[voice]

[zetsubo_sensei]

To my dismay: yes.

[sukimahag]

Children apparently tend to learn better from affection than discipline, though I've never had the chance to try~

[zetsubo_sensei]

He hardly qualifies as a child.

[sukimahag]

Then it'll take even more affection to help him learn~

[zetsubo_sensei]

He shouldn't; he's an adult. Adults need to learn that affection is the result of hard work, not the opposite.
