QR Chapter 1

The most interesting topic in this chapter was one that I believe there are teachers who do very well and there are teachers who do very poorly at, knowing what one should or shouldn’t know about their students. It is important not to push your students to find out information about their personal lives. But at that same time you can’t be a stranger to them. Many teachers in my experience either do this very well or very bad, some will push and push to get the information they want and students pick up on that and don’t respond well to it. However those who seem like they relate to their students probably let that information come casually. Pushing a student into giving you information about their personal life doesn’t work, however being approachable and accommodating will allow students to share about themselves when they see fit. A teacher’s ability to know about their students and get their students to trust them is a definite measure of how successful they will be as a teacher.
