There's a big difference between talking 1-1 in a nice office with a teenager, to teaching in a classroom 1-30. Kids can be absolutely lovely 1-1 and then, in any sort of public environment, with friends or in the classroom, exhibit damaging behaviours. But behaviour matters everywhere. So if you only ever see the former, you won't understand the latter, and your views on how things should be will be coloured by that.
Exciting day for our class! We received a print, note, and bookmark from author @pacylin Grace Lin after we participated in her live meet last week! @BGSchools

How often have you been told not to take student misbehavior personally? However, teachers feel a personal connection to misbehavior, especially when they invest both time and emotional energy in nurturing their students' growth. While it is essential not to INTERNALIZE student misbehavior, there is value in teachers taking it personally as in acknowledging its impact on the classroom and students' learning experiences. By doing so, teachers can instill a sense of responsibility and accountability in their students, prompting them to reflect on their actions and the consequences.
