[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t be pushy! So many kids are rude and ask for exceptions, better grades, second chances despite teachers/parents/coaches/advisors telling them no. Accept the consequences and try harder next time. [/quote] Alternatively, the squeaky wheel gets the oil.[/quote] Squeaky wheel, yes. That’s verry differently than being pushy. I’ve seen kids point blank ask for things they don’t deserve and didn’t earn. Adults in a position of power can see discern between the kids who do the work and do it well v the kids who rudely ask why they didn’t get xyz. It takes some social grace to navigate these situations. Advocating for yourself is an important skill. But being pushy is a net negative. [/quote]
