I was looking at one of a member of yahoo and she was asking : "HOw can I make my Teacher be my best-friends?"
I read some of the answer too and that is so not fair!!
I thought that is one sentence say:" America is a FREE Country !"
But is that free that a teacher CAN'T make a student be her friends, making friends is like a personal freedom!
As long as the teachers like it, she doesn't mind, why can't the student make friends with her???
How can the school / district just fire them because they have a good relationship with their students?
Do YOu Think That Is FAIR???

So is that wrong if you and your teacher have a very close relationship? What about you like your teachers and your teachers are also like you, and you and her are so close than just a teacher & student ( I mean like kinda close like telling each other everything, like personal, family, Bf/Gf else stuff.)? If you and your teacher have that kinda close relationship, Should you stop and get away from her before she got "FIRE" from the district/ school?????

I have been a teacher at one point of time and I was VERY friendly with my students. What it takes is a "leadership" style that promotes gaining and building respect instead of asserting authority.
But that doesn't mean that I got too personally involved with them as a true friend would be and neither did I select a few of them as my favorites or best friends.
Friendship is a two way relationship and despite how friendly a teacher can get there is always a certain degree of higher rank that you have to maintain to do the job of teaching properly. That is to say that a teacher can’t switch sides and let the student be the one to give advice on life for example, because the job of a teacher is to teach a specific subject the teacher knows better than the students. So in a way a teacher can be a good half friend but not a complete best friend - at least in class.
You can still be good friends out of class.

Well the teacher is the adult and the student is a child(maybe an adult too but you didn't go into detail) and it would be an awkward friendship because or the conflict of interest. The teacher can be friendly with her students but not actual friends. The teacher is an authority figure to the student and has to in many ways be a leader and a leader can not just make friends with the student because then it will be hard for the student to accept that the teacher is an authority figure and not just friend.

A teacher's job is to teach you not become your best buddy. while she is in school she is at work not play, and her job is to improve you changes of getting a job when you leave school, and that is what she is being paid for. Wake up to your self, find a friend of your own age and don't put her carear at risk!!

teachers are not there to make " friends " with the students.

i think the reason that we are not friends with or teachers are because they give use punishments. and they treat us like we are 20 years older than use.
