Are we really gonna do another round of the “homework is fascism and bedtimes are against human rights” struggle session.
Some bad teachers do lose their cool and actually encourage further distraction in the classroom; usually just rolling with it for a few moments lets the incident fizzle out on its own.
Some kids are assholes (the outright bullies, for example) and being patient and cool with them often doesn’t help, either. There’s no easy answers for the asshole kids, but knee-jerk “no veggies for dinner, no bedtimes” spite positions are definitely the kinds those asshole kids would also go for.
