Chapter #9: When Things Go Wrong

"Without giving up their human side, teachers have to put aside their fear and do the job, even as their teenagers students test them again and again." (p. 168) On the other hand you do not want to become to buddy buddy because then the students will take advantage of you.
This is a scary place for me. I know that to be a good teacher I am going to have to develop a tough skin and still be nice. I have always bees sensitive and I am not going to be able to allow this in myself anymore. I have to remember it isn't about me... it is about them. Whatever it is, it is about them.
