Now, it's up to the "boss" or supervisor or parent, or whomever, to soft pedal the word and insist that it be done correctly.
I think you're trying to avoid instilling in students of any age, but especially young inexperienced people, that they did something "wrong," as though it was a "bad thing."
Right?
Wrong is not automatically bad, unless you're assembling an atomic bomb.
Anyone can make a mistake, and most people will, on occasion, until they get the right training and experience. That mistake is part of the learning experience, and as such it might well be "wrong" but the teacher should not allow the connotation of "bad" to be attached to "wrong."
Bad is only when you do it on purpose...

Well, Malcolm, you're right. The culture of "I just want this off my desk" should change. Problem, it's not so easy a fix as one might think. With the advent of computers, receptionists must now be much more than a pretty face to smile at the business men who walk in the door.
Any company that wants culture change, has to have this desire from the very
top of the organisation. It has to accept that many of the things being done
are wrong, without slapping blame everywhere.
Not WRONG. Please. Just things that can be done better--- sometimes much much better -- if someone will stop telling people they are doing WRONG. :-P
