hey, everyone here, what do you think is the relationship between teachers and students? Some people think the relationship is no other than hire-and-hired relationship. How do you think this? I hope to hear various voices here from you. Thank you very much for sharing.

the teacher and sudent relationship is kinda great depending on the teachers .of course your going to have some kids having crushes on their teachers ..and then you have the cool teachers that tell the students the real things of life after high school and college sharing stories of their past thus getting the kids a better out look on their lives when they graduate i had a selcet few of teachers just like that and will never forget them

i've been in a program for television about this matter. I think the relationship between teacher and students, should be as it should be. So teacher is there to teach a student. But also i think that when a student has something she is dealing with, but what has to do with school nd homework, the student should go to the teacher and talk about it. (like a mentor) But it shouldnt go too personal, i think that especially the teacher should know her/his border. Talking about love, or calling a student 'sweety' is not done.

Teachers are leaders. They are there to teach to set an example. Many though students set their eye on the teacher and think to much of that person and start to have feelings for them. or vise versa. When you are set day after day with someone you naturely start to have feeling, its up to you how far you let those feelings go. Humans can be weak and let there thoughts turn into emotions. Both parties are responsible if they are adults. If it is teacher and underage student then the teacher is responsible. I don't see no problems with becoming friends as long as the teacher don't give special help to only one but special help to all.

The ideal teacher-student relationship goes beyond the hired help and is more like a mentor/ guide rleationship. A student should respect their teacher and a teacher should care about the student and help them achieve their full potential.
