Abstract

Vernon Augustus Brooks The learning process is forever riddled with controversies. Principal among them is that many students leave the classroom with the feeling that the odds are stocked against them, or that teachers bear grudges that are often used to malign their work or progress. But if the main focus in this teacher-student function is to make students realize their educational potential, then teachers ought to be mindful to send the right signal, and not to allow their protégés to leave with the wrong impression. Mind you, teachers are still human beings and are therefore not infallible, a characteristic which brings them down to earth to contaminate them with the same basic flaws that sometimes beset many relationships. As a teacher, if you adhere to certain professional guidelines, then you can avoid many pitfalls. A reference to guidelines is by no means trifling because those are what help to determine the pillars of the institution of education. The following paragraphs address a few major ones that can help you to strike an unequivocally productive balance with your students. A teacher should get to know the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the children under his or her tutorship. Frankly
