Getting Them to Fall in Love With You

In the Love and Logic text there is this little insert of pg. 311 that talks about the relationships that a teacher from the inner city of Los Angeles formed that made her a one of the most successful teachers in this area.  So I took this insert and applied it to my classroom.  I have found that through building my relationships with my students I have been able to take them to new heights that they once thought where not possible.  I believe the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing students work problems and communicate problem solving methods that they never thought possible.  I know that through my relationships my students would do anything for me and I believe that through their leaps I have been able to take to new heights they never thought possible.
