Teacher-Student Relationships: The Impact on High School Students

Abstract

Teacher-student relationship is one of the factors that promotes students learning. Positive interaction creates peaceful environment, but negative interaction leads to instability. Teacher’s positive relationship helps to promote student’s academic growth. Teachers who emphasize positive aspect of students rather than negative aspect helps the students to be more forthcoming with positive behavior. An overemphasized negative students’ attitude rather than praise leads to bad relation between instructors and students.
