When correcting misinformation, do it with a tone and facial expression that says, ‘You are intelligent.’ If, for example, the student is studying for a vocabulary test and you say, ‘What is the definition of volatile?’ and the student says, ‘Of one’s own free will,’ say with a gentle tone and a nod, ‘Changeable.’ Don’t even say, ‘No that is not right. The correct definition is “changeable”.’
