There are so many ways to fail in the eyes of students. I work in a high school, which means I work with a group of critics. Below is a list of criticisms I've either heard from teenagers or come up with myself. We must take our students' criticism with a grain of salt. On the other hand, we should sort through that criticism for ways to improve.
We all begin the year with the potential for rapport, meaning that every student arrives in our classrooms hoping to enjoy their time with us. Can you picture yourself walking into a classroom thinking, "Man, I hope I hate this teacher this year! That way I can sit here for 180 days bored, angry, and disillusioned!"
Profiles of teachers without rapport:
1. The "Mean" Teacher
2. The "Rigid" Teacher
3. The "Lazy" Teacher
4. The "Too Fun (cool)" Teacher
5. The "Too Close" Teacher
6. The "Distant" Teacher
7. The "Unavailable" Teacher
8. The "Repetitive" Teacher
9. The "All Business" Teacher
10, The "Phony, Insincere" Teacher
11. The "Weak" Teacher
