This will make you a better student
Not if you use it the way you just attempted to wield this concept.
Personal truths are experiential and interpretive, objective truths are factual and verifiable. The notion of "personal truth" does not erase provable reality, it merely operates on a different plane.
When you deploy this excuse to shield someone from accountability for a false claim, you are being disingenuous and acting in bad faith, yet again.
If you are serious about being a better student, I would suggest you stop trying to shoehorn and exploit these concepts to fit a predetermined narrative, one you've already decided the outcome of, and allow it to shape you and your opinions.
Until then, misusing these concepts will only expose you as a fraud, either someone who doesn't actually understand what they're talking about, or someone acting in bad faith, trying to con those willing to engage.
Kids are particularly adept at spotting this, especially the young ones. They may not grasp your words, but they sense your intent, and that's the giveaway. I'm sure you've seen that glint of distrust in them before and know exactly what I mean, even if you won't admit it.
But I applaud your "always learning" attitude, but I question your methods and motivations.
