Teachers, students must show respect
Dealing with teens who have been forced to sit in classrooms all day can be a tricky job. Many teachers in America struggle to understand the mysteries of the high school student. They fail to see the fragility of a developing and struggling mind. Teachers often fail to make a connection with a student and instead spark an ongoing conflict between pupil and mentor. Teachers need to stop and treat each student as an individual instead of lumping them into a pre-defined label, such as “troublemaker” or “disruptive student.”
