But educators-parents don't totally understand that in order to teach these basic subjects successfully, they must constantly be working to develop respect and responsibility in their students or children. No longer can it be assumed that children develop these attitudes on their own. Plus, teachers-parents must learn how to build positive relationships with their students or children and encourage them to develop positive relationships with their peers. Strong teacher-student and parent -child relationships are the key to fostering a positive and safe learning environment where much learning will take place and where all students will become capable, connected, and contributing members of their classrooms, school, or family.
