It does just occur to me. You can't have imagined that the essay I assigned to Miss Perks had the least bearing on you? What applies to someone like her certainly does not apply to someone with your advantages and with your kind of future before you. The best someone like Miss Perks can hope for is far less than the least expected of you, dear boy.
Now, I do hope you'll come to me if you have any little questions like this in the future. There's really no need to air them uncomfortably in public. You've more than earned the right to discuss your concerns more privately, should it be needed. Public correction is so very necessary sometimes, but I'm sure you won't require it of me.
