I had a negative learning experience with my third grade teacher. One day she jerked me out of my sit by my arm.

I went on to the fourth grade only to make honor roll the whole year, because I had a teacher who made feel at ease in her class.

He went the extra mile for his students and it showed. Others noticed and promoted him to assistant princple.
Teachers need to realize the impact they have on their students lives. Using force and fear are not acceptable ways to communicate with students. They can influence a child to learn more by being positive, understanding and patient.
