Adult vs Child

Read this in Devi's blog and feel intrigued because its so true! Therefore I can't help myself but to share it in mine. Hihi..

Ready? Here goes:

"If an adult is reinforced for behaving appropriately we call it recognition.

If a child is reinforced for behaving appropriately we call it bribery.

If an adult laughs we call it socializing.

If a child laughs we call it misbehaving.

If an adult writes in a book we call it doodling.

If a child writes in a book we call it destroying property.

If an adult sticks to something we call it perseverance.

If a child sticks to something we call it stubbornness.

If an adult seeks help we call it consulting.

If a child seeks help we call it whining.

If an adult is not paying attention we call it preoccupation.

If a child is not paying attention we call it distractibility.

If an adult forgets something we call it absentmindedness.

If a child forgets something we call it attention deficit.

If an adult tells his side of a story we call it clarification.

If a child tells his side of a story we call it talking back.

If an adult raises his voice in anger we call it maintaining control.

If a child raises his voice in anger we call it a temper tantrum.

If an adult hits a child we call it discipline.

If a child hits a child we call it fighting.

If an adult behaves in an unusual way we call him unique.

If a child behaves in an unusual way we refer him for a psychological evaluation."

Well, what do you think?

The best part was she found it on a Textbook by Sattler! How come? I read Sattler but never found something interesting. Seems now you have an image about what kind of student I am, no? Hehe..
