Being fully human, but not someone who takes things personally

I personally like to hear David speak; I think he speaks to me. The kind of person he is makes teaching easy, he is a natural teacher. What I liked most is when he spoke about being human. He said, "Humanity plays a role" - being an adult who thinks about the students as kids of your own. Michelle said something similar. She said, "How would you like your own kids to be treated by another teacher?” I liked when Dave spoke about students not being personal when misbehaving, which is a trap I often fall in to. I end up being personal as well, which is wrong and can make matters worse. Something I will try to practise is being consistent with my discipline.
