[blindkid] Niceness and Meanness

[Carrie Gilmer]

Let's take a look from the "other side".

 

Is it mean to tell someone they are wrong if through reasonable evidence all
indications are that they are indeed wrong?

 

There is teaching, and then there is sometimes the need to tell it straight
out. That is teaching too, IMO. And it often takes both. Meaning, evidence
to show why they are wrong. Is presenting that evidence, and strengthening
it based on their level of refusal to THINK and consider if they are wrong
when the result of the drawing out of that refusal is daily harm to a
child.is that mean to tell them and to tell them with some serious (but
civil) pressure?
