Students’ disruptive behavior reversed

The study and practice of Christian Science has been helpful in maintaining my health, bringing harmony and happiness into my relationships, and providing me with economic stability. It has also been helpful during difficult work situations.

One time, in my work as a teacher, I had a handful of disruptive students. They were disrespectful to their classmates and to me. It made me unhappy, and my stomach became upset just walking into that classroom, fearing what might be ahead. Everyone was uncomfortable there. This was not a good environment for teaching or learning. I tried simply being kind to these unruly students, but that did not work.

Fortunately, Christian Science has taught me that we don’t have to put up with inharmonious situations. Instead, our job is to heal them. So I began to see this as an opportunity to bring out the natural harmony, peace, and cooperation of that classroom and to know and prove that everything good is possible with the divine Mind, God.
