With the new year now here and the old one having gone to join our memories, it looks like it's time to start thinking about what awaits us next in the coming year

It was a foolish reaction caused by my frayed and overstressed nerves. I should have had better control of myself and walked away before then, but I swear something about the boy naturally causes me to want to counter every little ridiculous thing he says. Because of that, though, I started losing my patience and was getting angry. It makes me feel like someone *should* be mad at me for beginning to forget myself. If you hadn't stopped me, I might've gotten worse and regretted it even more.
I'm not saying you're wrong. It was definitely not how a teacher should have reacted, but it is not uncommon for teachers to snap. You're still human. But as long as you've made yourself more aware of your limits, then you can avoid this again.
I suppose... But part of the problem is that it can be hard to tell when you're at your limit until you've already passed it and have messed up again.
...No. I haven't. But then I have a history of being woefully poor at trying to reason with Hiyoshi-kun, if all our various conversations that eventually turn into arguments are any proof.
It doesn't have to be a conversation. Just admit that you shouldn't have reacted that way, then you're done. You won't be admitting that he was right, because he wasn't in egging you on like that, but that's all you'd need to say. Leave before he has a chance to speak...if that's possible. Or just drop him a message, it's up to you.
Exactly. There probably aren't that very many he gets to banter with like that. If anyone can do something about his behavior it's probably you. You already have his attention.
No, he doesn't really behave himself for me all that well. But if you mean someone who can distract him from something else that he's causing an issue with, then I suppose I could fit that bill.
