Have you ever had a teacher that didn’t even know your name, even if you have been in that class for a whole semester? If you did, or maybe just had a teacher that never really cared to get to know you or connect with you, you probably didn’t trust them or talk to them that much. In an article titled “Speaking from the Soul” by Karl Fisch it talks about how important the relationship between a teacher and a student is.
I believe that this relationship is critically important for a child to succeed. I have noticed that the classes that I do the best in are the ones with the teachers I like the most, and those teachers that I like the most are the ones who talk and connect to me. They aren’t just there to get a paycheck. If I don’t know much about someone and they don’t care to know much about me, then why should I really listen or care to what they are saying?
In English we have done most of our projects basically about us, and our life. I think that it is extremely cool that Ms. Smith is trying to get to know us as more than just her students, or a letter in a grade book, but as people. She even does these “reality checks” with us just to see how we are that week. In one of my other classes though, my teacher hardly ever talks to the students personally unless it is about themselves, and can hardly remember anyone’s name… and we’ve been in school for how long? I understand that being a teacher is a hard enough job and taking the time to sit down and learn about every single one of your students is difficult, but if you put in some kind of effort it could make all the difference.
The relationship between a teacher and a student is very important for many of the reasons that I have stated. I truly believe that it helps in the learning experience. The more you trust a teacher the more you will want to go in and ask them questions and get help. Isn’t that what all of our teachers tell us? Is that they are here to help us become better learners, well knowing our names might be a good start!

Kelly, I think that in sports, we need to be pushed to get better, though I do agree we have some work that is difficult. I agree that teachers should have relationships. Great Job!

Kelly, you did a really good job. You spoke really clear and made good eye contact. Maybe just talk a little louder, but otherwise you did great!
Kelly! Good job talking about the articles. I don't think it's okay that adults give kids/students adult work. I also agree with what you said about the pressure there is to get on sports teams. Mr. Fisch's quote was perfect for the teachers being technology illiterate. Good eye contact and your flow of your voice, you didn't sound nervous, you sounded like you were talking to your friends. Good job!
