and second im just asking a dam question no need to be all taking offense here jeeeeeze i feel like im back in school already

Answer 1

We like children that are sure enough of themselves to not ask questions like this. You should be a good, personable, responsible person, to not have this phobia.

Answer 2

For me, as a teacher of 12 to 14 year old students, likes and dislikes revolve around three issues. #1- respect #2- parents #3-neighborhood 1 - Respect, students and society have VERY LITTLE respect for the teaching profession and this is ok by me; but what I can't take is a student who does not respect themselves. As a teacher I understand that being respected only comes if you are a respectful person. But, some students do not respect themselves and this leads others to not respect them (ie like them). If you want teachers to like you then be a like-able person! 2 - Parents, If a parent is not connected with reality and thinks their child is an "Angel" when this child is anything but, we are going to have a personality/reality clash! If a teacher needs help with a child and the parent doesn't believe the teacher when this is discussed. A teacher will without even having reason have a negative reaction to the child. Parents have a huge effect on teacher/student relationships. 3 - Neighborhood, If you live in an area of town and the teacher is from another area, this can create problems of stereotyping. Poverty is a good example of this. A child from an area of poverty has no different brain power than that of a wealthy neighborhood child. Yet, we stereotype them as deficient learners. Also, not understanding a neighborhoods cultural background can cause friction between teacher and student. I think your question is well asked and needs to be addressed if America is ever going to change their negative perception for being able to educate our youth. Just my opinions and thoughts! Peace out!

Answer 3

Sometimes, early in the school year, I have a student that I dislike for reasons such as bullying and meanness. But I've always been able to find the reason behind the behavior and often end up liking the student very much. Some students have had bad school experiences and come to a new teacher with an attitude. It takes patience, but it's worth it, getting to know the troubled kids.

Answer 4

Some kids are passive aggressive. They do what they have to... but never without some sort of fight, or they wine about something or argue about something. They never just accept that you're job as the teacher is to tell them what to do. And so, out side of the obviously bad kids, these kids can get on my nerves too.

Do I think any are hot? Sometimes... but it's not the same as for kids. As you get older, more young people look attractive... they're not sickly like old people, but that doesn't equal wanting to date them. In the adult world I've dated plenty of people, and the idea of dating a student seems sort of bizarre. What would you talk about? Class stuff?

Answer 5

you should never dislike a student. your personally feelings for a child should never effect the way you teach. i know a lot of teachers that have very large egos and because that student does not think the way; that teachers thinks that teacher tries to make the student life hard. your personally feelings for a student will make you bias and that is wrong. i would keep your eyes on the ones that are mean and are bullies.

Answer 6

I like students who are personable and cooperative, have a sense of humor and have personal standards that allow them to be individuals and stand up for what is right. It is difficult to like students who lie all the time and who are deceitful, mean to others and can't be trusted.

I have found students to be attractive because quite frankly some of them are very handsome and very beautiful. To appreciate their appearance does not mean I am attracted to them sexually. I do not think of my students in a sexual or relationship sense. That would be inappropriate.

Answer 7

1. Personality (even the ornery ones...lol).
2. Willingness to try
3. Attitude

I can't say I have actually disliked a child. I get frustrated with children that have attitude problems, but that is a learned behavior and I can help them change it.

And no I have never been ATTRACTED to any student.

Answer 8

For the sake of answering, I prefer my students who are hard working, well behaved, and motivated to learn (I teach first grade).


However, no respectable teacher should ever be able to answer your second question with a yes. If they do, they should not be a teacher. A student/teacher relationship should not be that way.

Answer 9

attributes of students I like: responsible, attentive to lesson, follows thru on lesson and classwork, respectful, shows respect for school and classroom rules, gets along well with others. responsible responsible responsible
