Katie—respect for feelings Katie is very good at chess and knows it. But she also makes all the other kids in the chess club feel bad by making comments about the way they play. When the kids vote for Jenny instead of her to represent their school in a chess tournament, Katie is upset. After all, as she tells the teacher, “I am the best player”. Her teacher explains that even though she thinks she’s helping the other players, she’s not showing respect for their feelings. Ask yourself, the teacher tells her, “Is this how I want someone to talk to me?” Before offering an opinion, ask the players if they want your help, she adds, and be more respectful, polite and considerate, not angry and mean.
