A Case for Grace...  

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.” This is the essence of grace. Grace is giving someone what he doesn’t deserve. It is seeing beyond what someone is to what he can be. It is the greatest gift we can give our students. Grace recognizes but does not condemn human frailty, fallibility, or flaws. Grace offers concern, gentle correction, and consistent love, not condemnation. It is the precursor to second chances and third chances and the reason people eventually succeed. If we are going to err, I would prefer to err on the side of grace.
