The Verdict: Was the Snap Justified?
So, our Irish protagonist finally snapped after being constantly corrected by her classmate. She put him in his place during a Zoom call with their lecturer and peers. The classmate demanded an apology, and the majority of the class agreed. However, the lecturer later stepped in and told the classmate to stop interrupting her. The question remains: was her reaction justified, or did she go too far? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
