[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 324491, member: 1991"] It can be a vicious circle with a child who isn't doing well in a particular class - often if the teacher is open and easy to approach, the student will do better. But even the best student will do badly if the teacher terrifies them. I remember transferring to a new high school and being put into the top class (much to my surprise). The Maths teacher was a harridan, I was terrified of her. So were most of the other students. I did badly in her class (although I did pass). The following year I had a darling of a man as Maths teacher, he even let me waste time in class writing letters to my friend instead of doing work. Despite my time-wasting, I topped the class by the half-yearly... I've seen it time and time again. A teacher who is kind and encouraging will get the best out of the students, while a bully will only make it worse and drive the self-esteem and output of the students down. Marg [/QUOTE]
