"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming." -- Goethe

I believe if you hold your students to the same standard as you would any other person, irregardless of the fact that they are your student,you challenge your student to uphold the role of becoming a respectable person. Belittling or embarrassing a child to discipline them undermines their ability to be the best that they ought to be. Considering the fact that these students are our future, I would do myself an injustice by not nurturing their abilities.
