Relationship Shared amongst Teachers and Students

Nowadays, there is much controversy plaguing our society as to how the perfect relationship between teachers and their students should be. One pupil might be favored more than another in the classroom by the teacher, making this extra attention unfair to the other students. Almost always, there is a question pending as to what should the situation be inside a classroom. Nobody has yet come up with a solution to solve the problems facing our societys school system and the relationship the students hold with their teachers. An equal balance of fairness, dedication, and hard work should come from both teachers and students. Once we achieve this goal, our classrooms will have teachers giving a hundred percent and their will and effort to teach while the students give their hundred percent of effort to learn and participate at the same time.

The teachers responsibilities are much greater than that of the students. In the Mission Statements, I found an interesting quote from the Evergreen State College which says, The main purpose of a college is to teach, and good teaching involves close interaction between faculty and students (54). I strongly agree with what this college mission is saying because this statement personifies teachers responsibilities since the better teachers teach, the closer those teachers will reach out to their students filling the students anxious brains with more knowledge. Fulfilling this task will both make a successful student and well as a successful teacher.

... waste and vice-versa. Teachers may feel more pressured due to concerned parents or others who want their children to have the best education as possible. This can be avoided if the teacher educates very thoroughly and properly to get across to the majority of the students if not all of them. This relationship is not like a see-saw, there cannot be more effort put from one than the other. The relationship must be equal from both the teacher and the students side to achieve success on both ends.
