P. S. - It is common knowledge and an understood practice in the business world that all correspondence sent to a particular organization, becomes the property of that organization. Unless otherwise expressly requested, or the material is copyrighted, or of a legally private nature, that company is entitled to publish all such correspondence.

You did not use it to put down anyone, but to teach and build up. Since you are, among other things, a teacher, you acted as one by reading a student's work in front the class, so to speak. This is a teachers prerogative, and the student gives implied permission by having submitted such correspondence.
