Which one of the following is appropriate in respect of the teacher-student relationship?

To achieve the educational objectives, there should be a healthy and cordial relationship between teacher and student. Every teacher should have love and affection towards his/her students. The caring nature of the teacher motivates the learner to do some productive work and show continuous remarkable performance in the class. it is the responsibility of the teacher to keep relationships with students focused on pedagogical goals and academic requirements.Key Points

• Many qualities define a positive relationship and pave ways on how to create powerful student teacher relationships. These can be seen to include good communication, a safe learning environment and mutual respect, a positive and patient attitude, student equality and timely praise.
• The ability to forge a positive, powerful relationship between a student and teacher may seem like a difficult task first but can be easily accomplished by creating a strong learning environment.
• The learning is not a one way process alone; an effective learning environment is where all individuals involved learn from each other. While students learn a particular subject from a teacher, the teacher learns how to improve her teaching skills and make the lessons more interesting by gaining insights from the students. Thus, both parties learn from each other.
• Mutual respect and trust are at the foundation of any lasting relationship. Student-teacher interaction that is based merely on academic progress or behavior management creates inhibitions within a student and stifles true relationship-building.
• Those teachers that show respect towards their students and a keenness to help them through their difficulties become the object of respect themselves and trigger a drive among students to learn and make their teachers proud.

Hence, we conclude that a teacher and a student relationship should be cordial and respectful.
