Responsibility—
A Practical Example:
The Kimo Story
A young
student by the name of Kimo
might say to you, "Tommy hit me."
You would say, "I got that. What else is there
about that?"
We are going to assume here
that Kimo is still dramatizing the incident, still
in his victim act, still communicating
irresponsibly, still lying and more blame comes out.
You would then say, "Good.
Now, will you tell me what happened from how you
caused it?"
One of the
foremost barriers to the experience of communication
(transmission of subject matter) between students and
teachers is the unacknowledged lies.
If a teacher consciously or
unconsciously allows a lie or deceit to go
unacknowledged, they become cause, responsible, for
the student's subsequent failures.
A person's integrity is always
at work. Misbehaving, getting sick and failing are
signs of a breakdown in communication between the
student and the teacher. Failing is a student's
unconscious way of drawing someone's attention to
the fact that they are not in communication with
anyone.
