Those teachers that won't be friends with students in my opinion are terrible teachers and don't deserve to teach. The college they went to disgusts me, since they passed them.

because one thing can lead to another and they can get in trouble(if they are the opposite sex) and they can become friends and the students can become a teachers pet which is unfair to other students. hope i could help!

Hello! I have been an EFL teacher for the last nine years. I am 31 now. I could assure you that some people working as teachers are not real "communicators". On top of that, they do not care about teaching. Most of the time, they got a job as teachers because they could not do anything right. They are giving a bad name to our profession. You can easily tell if a person likes or dislikes his/her job by the way they treat to their co-workers. In this situation, if a so-called teacher mistreat to their students, that is one of the unfriendly teachers you are talking about. Being a good teacher implies showing your strengths and weaknesses to all of your students.

Teachers have to keep a professional boundary. Being friendly is okay, but being friends can lead the teacher into trouble. Showing favoritism and partiality will hurt a teacher's credibility and professional standing. Just look at the teachers who become too close to their students and end up having inappropriate relationships. The college they went to has nothing to do with it. Also, you don't "pass" college, you graduate from college. There is a difference.

The relationship between teachers and students is actually a professional relationship, the teachers teach, the students learn. Also in this day and age a teacher who is friends with students runs the risk of being accused of being some kind of pervert. It is best to just teach. Teach in a friendly, unthreatening, encouraging manner, but the teacher is there to teach, not to be a pal.

Teachers are not there to be your friends anymore than your friends are there to teach you Algebra.
If the teacher became pals with everyone, their control over the classroom would quickly deteriate as students often equate buddiness with doormat-ness.
Also, with the current judicial climate, teachers are terrified of associating with their students too much. If a teacher was your friend, others could take that as favoritism, or worse inappropriate behavior of the felony kind.
It's just best if you realize that they are there to teach you not sit down and spread gossip or play cards with you.

It's not the teachers job to be friends with the students... Sometimes it can be a conflict of interest if the teacher is too close to the students... It's their job to teach curriculum...Should they care about their students....Yes! Should they be friendly? Most of the time. But being friends isn't and shouldn't be in their job description.

Its a fine line that a teacher walks. Too friendly it may be misinterpreted as something else. Becoming friends with students someone ends up as teacher's pet. A teacher is there to teach you something, there is no reason they cant do it in a fun way

in my opinion, it rather is probable terrific that they are no longer pals. human beings have many categories of relationships with one yet another, instructor/student, determine/toddler, business enterprise/worker, friendships, etc. once you mixture any of those between a similar 2 human beings, you start to blur the lines of which function you're enjoying in any given situation. often circumstances, thoughts can get injury while a situation forces one variety of relationship, while between the individuals replaced into watching for yet another. it rather is to no longer say that they are able to't be "friendly" in the direction of one yet another, yet a line desires to be drawn that a instructor isn't a chum. they are there to do a job and notice that the student is knowledgeable. teenagers could have a lot of different pals, with no need to fall lower back on instructors to fill that function.

It would be inappropriate for teachers to be friends with their students. Can they be FRIENDLY? Certainly. However, it would be strange for an adult who has graduated college and is in a position of authority to WANT to be friends with a teenager (at least in this context). Sorry, but that's the truth.

with everything that goes on between teachers and students i don't think the teachers have a choice except to be distant so they won't get in trouble for being to friendly with a student
