Overview

This book was written after many years of working in the classroom with high school juniors and seniors in a group situation where I was quite and I let the students talk. They loved having a place to speak about their own lives. They would not miss the discussions on Fridays. My most difficult teacher was my mother, who adored me but she was skilled in getting her way. I finally told her off when I was 48. It tells you of the strength of another person who is in charge. This is the relationship challenge to understand and cope with the various people in our lives. Are we to blame or do we need to understand how to cope differently. Learning to master yourself. That's what Confrontation is all about! Whew!

Author Information

Shirley Heard Brackett Mathey is a teacher. I finished college with a BS of Home Economics and later became the teach everyone wanted to have. How did I do that? Well, I valued my students and they valued me. Because of the trust issue, I was able to dig into their personal lives and help them, primarily in the classroom, but I would stop class and help a particular person. My degrees helped (Masters in Family Life Education and another in Guidance and Counseling) but the decision that students were important became a theme to me. I arranged classroom for students to talk to each other and when there was a problem, I intervened to help teach the moment. I remember a girl student who was tormented with a boy and they were fighting as they walked into class. I took the two students into my office and said to the girl: You are not leaving until you make the Alan understand what you are talking about. They hurled messages, but he was secretly smiling about himself. When she realized she had to speak the TRUTH, she thought for several minutes and then became quite and said Alan, I am so embarrassed when you say those things, even if they are true. He stopped smiling and he answered. Jackie, I won't do that anymore. Being able to tell the truth is a mighty sword and it keeps the level of the conversation level.
