Staying positive is not always easy. It is not something that automatically happens just because a teacher professes Christ as Savior and teaches in a Christian school. A positive attitude requires flexibility, resolve, forgiveness, and a lot of patience, all of which are Christian virtues. Positiveness is not thwarted by petty annoyances, prejudices, or offensives. The positive teacher adjusts to the bothersome situations that occur at school, always considering the feelings and worth of others before himself.
Teaching requires teachers to adapt to a variety of situations-most pleasant, but some unpleasant.
These types of interferences and conflicts annoy the teacher who is jealous of his classroom teaching time. One of the most difficult tasks in life is formulating a correct Christian interpretation of the circumstances encountered in life. Life is not always fair, but God is, and He can always be trusted. He is in control of our lives, even when things appear out of control. Expressed anger or moodiness in response to an unpleasant situation that happens at school is not the type of spirit a Christian should display.
