i.+Chapter+9+-+Don't+Need+to+Repair..


 * "Great teachers aim to treat people with respect ten days out of ten, and are acutely sensitive to every single thing they say and do." How true! In chapter nine teachers were in one of two categories: never needing repair, but always do or always need repair, but never do. The first group of teachers are the best educators. They are not afraid to apologize or admit to being human and capable of error. They set high standards for themselves, which in turn, influences their students. The second group of teachers seldom recognizes their need to improve. They are confrontational with adults and peers. Due to their lack of "people skills" they are not effective. It is the role of the best teachers to help them find ways to become better educators. The last section of chapter nine focuses on the need to be able to apologize. After reading "Highway Patrol," you understand how you can teach students the skill of apologizing. Great teachers teach students the benefits of repairing relations. Great teachers apologize. Great teachers use teachable moments not only with their students but with the adults they come in contact with.**
