Re: School defends experiment to separate black students in a bid to boost their acad
I don't think its about building up so much of a "meaningful" relationship as it is just about the relationship period. IMO a teacher should not build meaningful relationships with students. But they do need a relationship with which to find common ground.
If you spent 6 minutes a day with the same person for a year don't you think that you would eventually start to trust that person? I'm not saying that you have to trust them in all things. But wouldn't you trust thier word over someone whom you had just met? Catz is right that consistancy is key.
If you think six minutes a day is time enough to form meaningful relationships, I don't know what to say. But I know I wouldn't want to be your boyfriend. ;-) ;-)
