Response to Nick Post 2

I think Nick makes a valid point in his second post about the effects of comments or small actions that may impact a student's brain. I have always believed that teachers can have lasting impacts on their students for good or for bad (many of my past teachers have) and have believed in not making the a negative comment for fear of insulting the student or pushing them away from coming to me for help. Now, after reading The Primal Teen, there seems to be biological reasoning behind a teacher and his/her everlasting effects on students. Nick's post made me think deeper about that idea, also, Nick made the point that negative feedback may have adverse effects on a student, and if that's true, just think about the good that postive feedback can do for a student?
