RE: WHAT EXACTLY DO THE BORG ASSIMILATE?
No, I was never accused of having favorites. Of course it was hard to resist liking students who responded to my teaching. Most of my students were very vulnerable. They were placed in my school because they were depressed, or had similar psychiatric issues. So I had to be especially careful to created an atmosphere that was safe and reassuring. The hardest part of my job was remaining dispassionate with cruel students, those who tried to bully others. To deal with that bullying and not get angry is a challenge. I'm not sure I always succeeded.
That was quite a responsible work.
It's human to fail sometimes and become frustrated or angry and even clueless to a situation. We must accept that things sometimes just go not well. But I guess for the most part you were a good teacher and when you were in the same way attentive you are now, your students sure were fine with you. I most respect this work where one is responsible for so many souls. It should be honored more. I've heard in Japan teachers have a much higher respectable onlook than in western nations.
