I didn't like your reaction but I'm not mad at you for it.

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.

Have you spoken to him about it yet?

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.

...You realize that just with saying that much, I'll still possibly be opening myself to a slew of foolish bigheaded comments from him, correct?

But at least you show that you know how to admit to your mistakes. Don't you?

Yes, but to what end? I sometimes wonder if the boy even cares and just wants an excuse to argue with me.

I think he's fond of you in his own way. He comments in most, if not all, of your posts.

Yes, because he knows I'll keep responding when most others grow tired of his behavior before long.

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.

It just needs some time. Sometimes it takes a while for students to warm up to certain teachers.

If you say so.
