The unique relationship and dynamics between teacher and student cannot be easily quantified. The only truth that is self evident is that a positive relationship in which the student wants to succeed because he or she wants to please the teacher (surrogate parent) is paramount to successful learning. It is a shame that Common Core standards have omitted social and emotional learning objectives. This is a well-written blog that offers hope.
