I think you are making a lot
I think you are making a lot of important points here. It is every teacher's duty to help their student's succeed as well as hear them and appreciate all the things they have already accomplished. I am drawn back to something you said in the journal group about how you don't want to be the teacher who hands them back a paper covered in red marks. It is (in my opinion) necessary to correct mistakes in order to grow and learn from them but maybe there is a better medium through which to do so. In Noa's Ark, Shwarzer talks a bit about the problems associated with corrections that are made carelessly or without discussion. Perhaps if you have time to dedicate to the individual student and talk through the corrections made, a paper full of red marks will seem less daunting, be more effective, and promote learning.
