Of course. I am an honest, direct kind of person. When conflict arises, I address the person openly and honestly. As a teacher of nearly three decades I had to unlearn not to “pick up the rope” with students. In other words I never argue with students. I am the teacher and they can follow directions or not. If not, they are out of my classroom. I think on some level we’ve all had to learn this lesson. Kids love when they can get a teacher to argue with them. It took me three years to learn arguing with a student never boded well for me in the end.
