一言九頂

I joined a small gathering with college friends yesterday. One friend, a principal in a high school, said teaching in high school was pretty tough now. Some students are hard to discipline. They get defensive and defiant when teachers say something they don't like. This is what teachers call 一言九頂 .It means teacher say one word and students will talk back a lot in defiance. Is your child a 一言九鼎 or 一言九頂 child?
