The comment suggesting that a student who doesn’t understand a concept “has to be demoted” is a harmful and counterproductive mindset that promotes stigmatization around learning. Every student learns at their own pace, and shaming or punishing someone for needing more time or assistance only discourages them from seeking help and engaging in the learning process.

Education should be about fostering curiosity, growth, and support, not humiliation or fear. Instead of promoting demotion, a more constructive approach would involve offering additional support, encouragement, and resources to help students grasp challenging concepts. Building an inclusive, understanding learning environment is key to student success.
