What caught my attention in this chapter was the part where a student said that teachers should just be themselves. The student talked about one particular teacher who always smiled, even when taking out the trash. This student was under the impression that the teacher was not being real.
The reason this stands out to me is that I am a person who smiles all the time for no apparent reason. I'm not trying to perform for anyone; I'm just a naturally happy person and I show it. The words of this student caught my attenion because I never want my students to think that I'm trying to make them like me by smiling all the time. This thought never occurred to me until I read this chapter.
