Degree Work

If the guy has morales, and a higher I.Q., let him be the judge, Allow him to pass. Leadership is more than granted.

I am not quite sure who the subject of your comment is and what Morals and IQ have to do with proficiency.

I’m afraid that didn’t translate well.

Recently sat in on and had a small part in one of our brothers journey to becoming a Master Mason, What is your take on correcting someone or making interjections during a degree work? My stance is to allow the brother to recover and continue the work instead of interjecting here and there. It becomes very obvious to the candidate that the degree is not running smoothly. There’s a difference in a brother not knowing the work and being nervous. Brothers let’s talk.

Agreed, let him recover and continue. If he asks for assistance, one brother that knows the work should "prompt" him and hopefully the brother catches himself and continue. When there are multiple brothers talking and trying to coach from the "sideline", it causes confusion. And it really looks bad when there are other brothers visiting from different lodges. This is why floor school is VERY important.
