The participants were then asked whether they think the teacher should reveal their opinion in class about certain topics or not. They unanimously agreed that there is no problem with sharing one’s opinion about controversial issues in class. As Fred put it, he cannot even “disguise [his] views in class” (T/FG-TT-14). Even if they share their views, they think they should not impose their views on the students (I, M, U). In order not to influence the students, one has to be careful when to reveal their opinion. As Ulrich saw it, he would reveal his opinion at the end of a debate if the students were interested, but not during the debate, because it might have an impact on the course of the discussion and the students might feel that have to appeal to the teacher with their opinion. Marcella agreed by saying that the teacher is “more powerful probably and what [they] say accounts more” (T/FG-TT- 13) during a discussion. However, according to Ingrid, there are some cases when one cannot remain neutral during a discussion. She came up with the example of racist comments in the group and justified her opinion in the following way:

… if we don’t react and we let it go and notice then… then we basically agree. Oh, and maybe we’re not showing a good example with that. […] But I think very often, especially if it’s …a human rights issue…. I think it’s very important that you show your opinion. You share your views (T/FG-TT-13).

As Marcella saw it, the real question is whether it is about values or views. She would not think twice about defending a value in her classroom. As she put it, if there was an important value being threatened in her class, “I think I wouldn’t even worry whether I’m the last person to say anything or the first person to say anything. ’cause it’s like establishing that that’s a value I want to safeguard in the classroom” (T/FG-TT-13). Fred added that he would also distinguish between values and views, and he would not mind if students expressed a different opinion from his because it is important to have a free space where it is okay to disagree.

The tutors were also asked whether there were any topics they would not disclose their views about. First, neither Fred nor Ingrid could mention any such topics. Both Ulrich and Marcella commented that if they do not know enough about a topic, they would not express their views about it. Marcella could also conjure up a memory when she told her group that she would have to read up on that particular topic before formulating an opinion. The issue of party politics was raised by Marcella and as she put it, she would “think twice” (T/FG-TT-16) before answering any questions about her views or formulating an opinion. Ingrid joined her by saying that she would also avoid this issue, but she would do her best to speak up against human rights violations and often it is difficult to talk about one topic without the other. Both Ulrich and Fred added that avoiding politics as a discussion topic is an “inherently cultural issue” (Ulrich, T/FG-TT-16) because addressing politics is not considered to be such a taboo in Germany or in the UK, for instance. Fred commented that he believes it would be much different if he was teaching in a Hungarian secondary school, where he would be “more cautious” (T/FG-TT-16) with expressing his political beliefs. Overall, the participants are mostly cautious about sharing a political opinion with their groups, other than this topic, they would only steer away from revealing their opinion if they do not know enough about the topic at hand.
