Question

I share a big office at school with twelve other teachers. Sometimes it's a busy place. Students are coming and going with their homework books. Other students stand in line and are ready to recite. But there are also students who come to the teachers' office just to hang out. They like it here because the teachers are friendly.

In the past Chinese teachers used to be very strict. They were like cold parents. Things are different now. For example, Pamela, a teacher in my office, is a warm person and her students love her. They enjoy talking to her during lunchtime and playing with her. She is their teacher but she is also their friend.

There is nothing wrong with friendship between teachers and students, but there can be problems. Your teacher is still your teacher and a student must respect that. Friendship doesn't mean you will get good grades for poor work. It doesn't mean you can act badly in the classroom and not be punished. The job of a teacher is to teach and the job of a student is to learn. And the most important thing to remember about friendship is that you must always have respect for each other, especially if your friend is your teacher.
