How does your understanding of mankind’s fallen nature impact your work in the classroom?

Because all of us are from a fallen world, we have a free will to make choices. There will be consequences for bad behavior, but we learn from all of them.

Knowing that mankind is fallen gives a teacher fresh perspective on what they are trying to accomplish. We naturally are selfish and promote our own interests. When students (or even teachers) do this, we should not be surprised. However, this is an opportunity for us to show a better way. Sometimes that will involve discipline or rebuke, but it must always be done in love and with the desire to restore that person.
