Thank you. Funny that this thread has been 'revived.' I am reading a book (for a class) on leadership in the classroom. And one of the main disciplines is to show compassion. The author makes a very telling point and supports it rather well. So, there must be a delicate balance of being an butt-kicker and knowing when to soften your grip, I suppose. Of course there is compassion and then there is babying... too much of that already, for some.
Okay... it's late... I'm rambling.
