“business relationship” between students and faculty. Fox argues that, “the real currency with which students acquire knowledge and/or professional skill is their time and attention to the task of learning, not their money”, which furthers the point that should money be eliminated from the equation, students might seek to further themselves in a much more intellectual manner. However, professors are also somewhat to blame for the situation of the perpetuation of consumerism amongst students. Fox writes

Some students may have characteristics that help them as learners in a classroom and some may have characteristics that hurt them as learners in a classroom.

The relationship between colleges and students is very consumer focused. The school’s faculties, other than teachers alone, are difficult to deal with as well as rude. Teachers are defensive and thus can be difficult and inconsiderate, and students are left to feel as though they are spending a lot of money for nothing. The college experience is being ruined and students as well as their teachers are being overworked and undervalued. Schools faculties are focused on money. Administrators especially
Student Interactions The interaction between student and teacher is what I would hope a student-teacher interaction would be. For the most part, the teachers spoke in a friendly manner. What I mean by this is that the teacher were always kind and they did not dismiss the students opinion. The teachers were not purposely hateful or had a vendetta against any of the students. Even if the student mentioned something that was not on topic the teacher would say ‘Let’s discuss this later/ during recess/after

Student and teacher relationships have many benefits for both teacher and student in the classroom. There are many different types of these relationships, from being friends to being mentors to even being something of a mentor or parental figure.

Student-Teacher Relationships Create Positive Learning Environments When it comes to the topic of education, most of us will readily agree that a positive connection with a teacher is an essential part of learning and growing as a student.

I was five years old when I encountered a situation that would change my view of the teacher to student relationship. I can still see the scenario played out in my head. I was the Spanish-speaking student, quiet, middle child, and longing to be acknowledged for my strengths. In Kindergarten, the teacher was insensitive and verbally abusive. It was then that I felt insignificant and misunderstood. I allowed that experience to serve as my foundation for several years. To protect myself from being
Teacher-child relationships are an integral component of a child’s everyday life. Especially for children who are in elementary school around the ages of 7-10. During those years, students spend a lot of time each week in the classroom with the same teacher and participate more in classroom activities and learning.

Clifford Adelman states that, “Among high school students who graduated in the bottom 40 percent of their classes, and whose first institutions were four-year colleges, two-thirds had not earned diplomas eight and a half years later.” (121 qt. in Nemko). How is this data justifying our understanding of what influences the people’s success rate? Why should we believe there is a connection between a person’s high school class and their success rate in college? It is admirable that Nemko wants colleges

Teachers who are familiar with student characteristics have a considerable advantage in planning their teaching. Explain how. I want to first define what a characteristic is, Merriam-Webster says a characteristic is “a special quality or trait that makes a person, thing, or group different from others”, so all students characteristics are different.
