Learning is so much more fluid than it was. Students aren’t quietly sitting and listening any more. Boding of students and teachers like Their question, their suggest, their argue and their learn by doing. The adjustment in classrooms is all the more important, as in schools where the link between students and teachers is strong, children feel comfortable, respected and driven to learn.
True learning and true teaching are the two sides of the same coin, outside the textbooks. Bonding and trust results in greater positive learning, involvement and attitude about school. Also, this relationship is vital for teachers to better judge the students strengths, weaknesses, learning styles and difficulties.
Interaction in the Classroom
At this stage of learning, it is not so much about memorizing teachings. “It is about understanding and finding out how to make it work in the real world.” And this is why the interaction between teachers and students is so crucial.
Students often want to ask questions but are afraid to. The teacher’s support to the student becomes better, his mistakes are found and the session becomes more enjoyable due to student’s inquiries. This makes the classroom a place of engaged learning, rather than passive study.
The main benefits are:
- Talking things through helps to understand lessons and criticism.
- Students feel more comfortable sharing their ideas.
- The teachers and the learners are more emotionally attached.
- Improved classroom discipline through mutual respect between teachers and students.
- Students are more active and interested in class and therefore better academic performance.

Teachers’ Role in Building Trust
Most students feel comforted when they are in a classroom where students trust and feel comfortable. Teachers are mentors and leaders and students are supposed to respond favourably to anything that is refreshing to them.
