Having taught in middle school and high school for the past six years (and elementary in the distant past) I have learned that secondary students will forgive many flaws but their tolerance for someone who is “fake” is absolutely zero. Their ability to detect teachers who aren’t being themselves, who are putting on an act – no matter the reason, is unmatched in nature. Being someone you are not will instantly rob you of credibility in their eyes and winning it back once lost is not easy.

God made you who you are and put you in front of the class for a reason… be yourself!

I love “s/he’s nice” as #1. Kindness works in most cases with kids, as it does with adults. I’m often disheartened by how many teachers get a kick out of being the “mean” teacher.
