In which situation is a personal conversation more appropriate than a public message?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When sensitive feedback must be given to a student
Sensitive feedback may concern a student’s performance, behaviour, or personal difficulty. Giving it privately protects dignity, reduces embarrassment, and allows the student to ask questions and respond honestly. Option A is therefore most appropriate. A public holiday, general timetable, or open school event is shared information for a broad audience, so a public announcement is suitable in those cases.
