TEACHING MICRO TIP 12
It’s ok to tell a kid if they’ve got something wrong. You can do this kindly and still have their back. Be clear.
“No that’s not right, but lots of people make that mistake. Let me explain why.”
It’s not kind or helpful to pretend they are right when they aren’t.

I read a fascinating sociology book at one point talking about the concept of "negative politeness" - manners designed to create a fiction that people in public spaces have privacy. Particularly prevalent in England, Japan, and Manhattan - that is, overcrowded islands.
