Everyone makes mistakes! Nobodys perfect, but how should you deal with the errors of a person who is much older than you. Is it disrespectful to correct someone in authority? For example, if your teacher is doing a math lesson on the board and makes a small, yet significant mistake, what is the best way to correct them?
Sometimes in school, the adult in charge fails to see everything that is going on. This may result in a single student taking the blame (or getting the praise) for something that involved others. Is it okay to try and correct their misperception? If so, how is the best way to go about this? Parents are quick to judgment at times and will sometimes jump into a family dispute without finding out what “really happened”. Is it better to defend yourself at the risk of making the problem worse or simply realize that life is just not fair sometimes and try to learn from the mistakes of others. Share some experiences you have had in dealing with adults who just plain got it wrong! |
