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

My work in the classroom involves a set of classroom rules and consequences for not following those rules. Our school has a student life team to call if a student is disrupting the learning environment and needs to be removed for a few minutes or for the day. They are there to counsel with the children and communicate with the families. We have restorative discipline procedures and circle time in our classrooms to deal with sinful choices, the impact those actions or words have on others and ourselves, and how to recognize the wrong that was done, how to make an apology, how to grant forgiveness , and how to bring those that choose to sin back into the fold of the group. The fallen nature of man has made work in the classroom much harder than if we did not live in a fallen world.
