In school, you are taught the lesson first and given the test afterwards. In sports, you learn basic drills and set plays during practice and then tested at game time. In both cases, the teacher only observes and provides guidance during the test.
A chef who is tough on a line cook by scrutinizing every detail, cleanliness, process and standards during prep is developing the proper skills necessary for them to work effectively during service. A chef who screams, bullies and belittles a line cook is only serving his own agenda and helping no one to become better.
It’s a thin line between a teacher who is hard-ass and an asshole. You can respect a hard-ass but not the asshole.
