The subject of this article is the importance of building relationships with people at school (especially teachers) and how that leads to effective learning. I think that the intended audience is other teachers because it’s written by a teacher who explains that once he showed a ‘whiff of vulnerability’ it changed the atmosphere in his classes and helped his students to be able to relate to him. Knowing that their teacher was ‘just another schmo trying to get through life’ allowed the students to show more compassion and empathy towards him, but it also helped the teacher understand that the emotion is essential to reason: basically, he could no longer be ‘dispassionate’ when it came to teaching students. The purpose of this article is to educate other teachers about what they have to do in order to get their students to engage with them but also to teach them about the necessity of students having a good relationship with teachers, as this improves the brain activity of both the students and the teachers. I like this article because I agree with what it’s trying to say, and a good relationship with a teacher motivates me to work harder in their lessons as well as making me feel calmer in the classroom.
