I know there is a lot of conflict-avoidance out there! Holding anyone accountable, holding the line, can be scary because we fear the consequences. People will consider us rude or bossy or controlling or mean. We won’t be liked. If you’ve had a negative experience with holding someone at your school (or any other place) accountable, leave us a message about it. 413.239.4158. Or share a positive experience you’ve had. We can play it on the air and maybe add a comment or two that might be helpful. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review or rating wherever you listen. It really helps.External links<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bennington.edu">Bennington College</a>Join me on Substack: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.teachingthroughemotions.com/">Teaching Through Emotions</a>.CreditsFounder and Host: Betsy BurrisProducer: Jullian AndrokaeAudience Development: Andreea CoscaiMusic: Tom Burris/Jabbering Trout Get full access to Teaching through Emotions at <a href="https://www.teachingthroughemotions.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.teachingthroughemotions.com/subscribe</a>
