After a few days the teacher noted that Eleanor was fairly comfortable in school and was happy to talk about the games she was playing. The teacher noted: 'Eleanor enthusiastically told me the names she had given to all the plastic play people/

Should a child love his teacher? Yes, if "love" is taken to mean a warm, constructive relation in which the child is truly valued and helped to develop his best potentialities. No, if it means a relationship that is intense and meets the emotional needs of the teacher at the expense of the child. A teacher's strong personal affection for one child may lead to favoritism, which children keenly resent. Or it may make the child oversensitive to the teacher's opinion. |
