I encourage this type of education. Kids need to be held accountable for their actions, just like everyone else.
Normalize humility

Just gonna advocate for the devil on this one and say teachers shouldn’t be calling kids names.
I dunno man if a kid can’t handle being called bozo… it would be good to teach that kid to be more resilient.
Prob best not to call kids names, sure, but damn
You’ll get called a lot worse in your first job. But who am I kidding, this is a fancy school, these kids won’t work.
Not every kid has had the same lived experience as you. You don’t know what’s going on in every kid’s brain. Try to have some empathy for the things you might not know.
As a teacher, it’s your job to teach the kid, not harden up their resilience to your satisfaction.
Edit: not to mention, what makes you think a grown adult calling a child names will build resilience? Is this how you want kids building resilience?

I agree. I’ve had problems with this working for a school district, when a student was younger a nickname teachers and students called them was innocent enough, but as they are getting older they find it embarrassing and they have difficulty communicating on top of that, so it was a headache. the adults should stick to preferred names only.
Also, thing about kids is you don’t always know how they feel based on their external reactions.
