A teacher spends a lot of time with his students during the school year. During this time, a relationship may form between them based on mutual respect, appreciation, and love, or it may be a negative relationship based on hatred and resentment. The teacher alone is not responsible for the nature of this relationship, but there are some basic things that he can do to make his relationship with his students as friendly as possible.

Not All Students Are The Same
Every human being is unique with his fingerprints and his pupils. Likewise, every human being is unique in his mind, character, and mechanism of understanding facts and dealing with his surroundings.
The teacher must understand this fact well. Treating all students with the same explanation style and then blaming them for not understanding the same pace is a big mistake.
The teacher learns from his students as much as he teaches them. At the beginning of the semester, the teacher should spend enough time observing the way each of his students thinks. This can be done through various exercises and assignments he asks them to perform and then observes their ways of solving them. These different ways can reflect the thinking mechanism of each of them. After understanding how their minds work, the teacher can choose the appropriate way to explain his lessons to each student, without it being clear to the students that there is a difference in their speed of understanding and comprehension.
Teacher And Students Are On The Same Side
One of the things that detracts from the effectiveness of the learning process is that students feel that the teacher is their enemy. By giving them tiring assignments and difficult tests, the teacher may endorse this feeling. Also, the unkind and inconsiderate way of dealing when a student commits a mistake may exacerbate this feeling.
The teacher must make clear to the students an important idea, which is that he is on the same team as them, and that they have a common goal, which is their success at the end of the semester.
When students feel that the teacher has their best interest at heart, and everything he does is just for their sake, they may adopt a positive way of dealing with the teacher and the material they are learning.
A Teacher Can Give Much More To His Students Than Subject Information
The educational material is not all that a teacher can give to his students. There are many other good things that students can gain from their teacher week after week over time. The morals possessed by the teacher may be automatically transmitted from the teacher to his students. Students, especially those in adolescence, may find role models in adults they interact with frequently in their lives. One of these people might be a teacher. Many students find inspiration thanks to their teachers, many of them love a scientific or literary field thanks to their teachers, and many of them hate a subject because of their teachers. The teacher should take advantage of this to impart to his students good morals and habits, such as integrity, honesty, and compassion for others. Bad manners and behaviors such as cheating, lying, bullying, and laziness must also be rejected.
In the end, why can’t the school year be a beautiful journey in which a good relationship is established between the teacher and his students and ends with everyone gaining more friends and having fun?
