No yellow-bellies for me thanks...

Despite the fact that none of us want to cross the line, we will because given the dynamic nature of tutoring sessions it is inevitable. True, this sounds rather pessimistic, giving the impression that a tutoring session is like a bomb ticking away in the corner and it’s only natural that in such situations tutors would want to use caution. However, this toeing of the line isn’t going to make sessions anymore productive- in all likelihood it would degrease productivity and cause the tutor to cross the line much more frequently. Nothing will be accomplished if tutors fear saying what needs to be said. The best and only recourse is for the tutors to conduct themselves in a manner that they would expect to see if being tutored. The tutor then is mindful of the student’s sensitivities but doesn’t bow down to the fear of Line.
