Good Teachers Maintain Proper Relationships With Students

The issue of teachers- students’ relationships in school has continued to be a subject for discussion in our present- day society. Some teachers find it difficult or show outright refusal to maintain proper relationships with their students; while other teachers actually use the relationship they have with students to improve students’ general class performance. Proper relationship between teachers and their students is believed to be one of the most effective ways which helps to make students to enjoy their learning experience while in school. Good teachers always try as much as possible to maintain proper relationships with students in order to enhance learning, while some other teachers do not put this into serious consideration.

Some teachers think that maintaining proper relationships with students will result in students’ lack of concentration during classes. Teachers in this category believe that students will no longer be attentive while they are in class due to close relationships with them. The fact remains that good teachers know how to control their students when they start misbehaving during classes, it does not really affect the nature of their relationships afterwards. It is also clear that students have much respect for teachers who maintain proper relationship with them, than those who do not. From my personal experience, it seems students find it easier to understand courses that are being handled by those teachers who have good relationships with them. The general performance of students in classes is being affected positively or negatively in line with their relationship with the teachers. Proper relationships lead to better performance, while the lack of it leads to poor performance from the students.

Good teachers actually use the proper relationships they have with students to know when the students understand what they are being taught. As a result of the fact that teachers in this category are in good terms with the students, students find it easier to ask relevant questions that will help them to fully understand what they are being taught, and through these questions the teachers are able to determine the areas where the students need extra help. Other teachers who do not really maintain proper relationships with the students find it difficult to determine where the students need help because the students will always pretend to them by not asking relevant questions on any topic. This pretence by students is as a result of lack of proper relationships between them and those teachers in this category. This kind of negative attitude from some teachers does not help students to improve on their class performance and general academic progress.

Good teachers actually maintain proper relationships with students in order to help students to do better in class performance and general learning progress with the use of such relationships.
