tudent-teacher relations had changed from the golden days, when teachers towered over their classes with hickory sticks in their hands. Today teachers even enjoyed being friends with students. Mrs. Jackie Dyer said that the main reason she got along with her students was that she taught an elective. They took the course on their own will, so there is usually no hesitation to question the teacher, she said. Mrs. Lois Tyler liked working with her students on an individual basis and tried to provide an atmosphere where students felt wanted. Teachers should try to remember what it was like when they were in school, said Miss Paullette Landers. Miss Landers also believed that teachers should consider the student's problems away from school. Most teachers agreed what there was a need for respect between students and teachers. In fact, Miss Angela Students and teachers should treat each other in the same way. -Mrs. Debbie Fulbright, Resource. Sears said that the main reason she liked to teach kindergarten was because younger students look up to the teacher. Mrs. Debbie Fulbright and Mrs. Georgia Wells said that respect was the main way student-teacher relations has changed. There is less respect for authority today, said Mrs. Wells. Students and teachers should treat each other with the same amount of respect, added Miss Carolyn Carpenter.
