<p>I have learned that I must consider that a student issue may stem from my own inadequacies as a teacher or a bias that I might not be aware of. I must be sure to assess my own performance when my students are struggling. I also realize that many students may try to manipulate my sweet nature and use my trust to gain favors or try and cheat on the assessments. I know that I must clarify all expectations at the beginning of class and be responsible on my end for timelines and grades so that the students don't get the idea that homework and reading assignments don't matter if I never take them up or look at them in class.&#160;</p>
