A study on the Teacher-Student Relationship and its impact on the Behaviour of High School Students

High school students are in the stage of Adolescence and it is the time for developing 
independence. Typically, adolescents exercise their independence by questioning and 
sometimes by breaking rules. Parents and teachers must play a major role in supporting & 
influencing the children positively by their ethical & appropriate approaches. Teachers in 
school as well as parent at home, often wonder how to disciple a child and to mould their 
behaviour so to bring up the child with virtues. Although some  children truly have 
challenging behaviours regardless of what strategies to try, many children just need to have 
the adults in their lives make changes in the way they react, respond, or interact with them. It 
is also a great responsibility of the teacher in school to have positive approach towards 
students. If not there are possibilities in change of behaviour among students & leads to 
several problems. For example, frequent episodes of fighting, scholastic backwardness, 
substance abuse; antisocial or institutional activities, destructive behaviour and change in 
attitude in students are much more significant than isolated episodes of the same activities. 
Other warning signs include deterioration of performance at school and running away from 
home. This research paper’s aim is the teacher-students relationship and its impact on the 
behaviour of High school students. The objectives are to know the teachers attitudes both 
positive and negative towards students and its impact to bring positive as well as negative 
behaviour change in the students. The studyhas reported that students are often facing 
emotional problems by the negative approach of the teachers. It is recommended that to 
create awareness among teachers in the school for the smooth handling the children with the 
positive approaches. 50 high school students; 25 girls and 25 boys were taken and interview 
schedule is used. Both the primary and secondary methods are used and the study is 
descriptive in nature.
