While doing this he used the word, &#8220;cheating&#8221;, and gripped and steadied the broom with his fingers (which got a few [...]]]></description>

When a person is told, &#8220;You know, you can do that this other way instead - it works better, is more comfortable, healthier, etc.&#8221;, does the person automatically have a choice? That choice may be to do the new way. The choice could also [...]]]></description>

When one is more in a receiving role, such as a student, there is accordingly more assimilating and conforming to the giver, or the teacher.
