nstead of assuming someone is being intentionally rude, dismissive, or resistant, ask: 👉 Could this be a difference in communication style? 👉 How can I model clear and respectful communication in return?
Just as we teach students to analyze tone and audience in writing, we should apply the same lens to real-world interactions in schools. By recognizing that respect is expressed in different ways, we can create more inclusive classrooms and collaborative work environments.
