Imagine that you are in a classroom or a meeting. The teacher or the meeting leader says something incorrect. In your opinion, which of the following is the best thing to do?
--Interrupt and correct the mistake right away
--Wait until the class or meeting is over and the people are gone, and then talk to the teacher or meeting leader
--Say nothing
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I believe that the best thing to do when the teacher or the meeting leader says something incorrect is to wait until the class or meeting is over and the people are gone, and then talk to the teacher or the meeting leader. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, teachers or meeting leaders care about their reputation, and telling them the mistake after the class or meeting does not harm their reputation. For example, my high school teacher once made a tiny mistake in the lecture, and one of the students interrupted and corrected her mistake immediately. Although the teacher acted nicely and calmly to the correction, she was actually extremely embarrassed. After that time, she was so shy in the classes afterward that she gave the lecturers so unconfidently.
Secondly, teachers or meeting leaders are usually busy, and not telling them what they say wrong until the class or meeting is over saves them a lot of time. For example, when I took courses in my college, each of my professors had a lot of materials to teach us. Some professors then reminded us that we should ask them questions after the class if we got some, because interrupting them in the class may cause the schedules to be delayed and students would then miss what they should learn at the end of the semester.
Finally, teachers or meeting leaders want to improve their skills, and telling them their mistakes after the classes or meetings instead of saying nothing allows them to improve their skills. For example, the first time I presented my project in my company, I wanted to know everybody's opinion about my presentation. Hearing others' ideas makes me do better in my next presentations because I could combine others' perspectives into mine and also enhance my skills at the same time.
To conclude, teachers or meeting leaders need to protect their reputation, they care about the schedule, and they want to improve their skills. Therefore, I definitely think that talking to the teacher or the meeting leader after the class or the meeting is the best way to deal with such a situation.
