@adamboxer1 Again, your choice would be made reflecting on previous experience and the emotions these create

If we bring the classroom and #edutwitter together.. when challenged by a tweet from someone we disagree with, there's a range of common responses

1. Subtweet, to mock and encourage

@adamboxer1 Others to do the same to make us to mask the negative emotion and make us feel better about ourselves. As pupils may do in a classroom

2. Challenge back. The threat results in a response that looks to protect us. The strength of emotion will inform the response. It may be

@adamboxer1 Talking back, an inconsiderate tweet, a sarcastic slur or perhaps a more physical approach (throw a pen or hit out)

3. Block/mute. The threat is too much for us to cope with and we flee or avoid. In the classroom, this will be pupils walking out of class or appearing to not...

@adamboxer1 Concentrate/comply

4. If it's someone we have a positive relationship with or someone we respect, people will look to discuss positively and agree to disagree. Similar to when pupils know they don't enjoy a lesson but will engage anyway to avoid confrontation or they don't like

@adamboxer1 The alternative

Fear also plays a part for some. Those pupils who would react in a negative way but are more fearful of the consequence. Not because they respect the teacher or want to learn the subject and are unlikely to thrive or have a love of the learning. Or some like..

@adamboxer1 The alternative better because staying in the classroom creates too many anxiety-related behaviours suggested earlier in the thread. They feel safer elsewhere in school (or at home if exclusion is the option...)
