I agree with what you’re saying; I just don’t see it in Ake’s behavior (perhaps because I am a few episodes behind).

I haven’t seen her behave irresponsibly or take the safety of her students lightly. Lounging and going barefoot are not safety issues, unless you consider all forms of unconventionality to be unprofessional, and all forms of unprofessionalism to be irresponsible.

What I see in Ake is someone who takes her job seriously, and is conscientious about what deserves her care and attention – and what doesn’t.
