Relationship Reflection

Relationships/partnerships are important because everyone gets to benefit something out of the deal. Sometimes you can form a strong bond, and sometimes its just a learning process for some. What I mean by learning process, if you and an individual disagree on a topic, you learn what their beliefs/opinions are. Forming relationships are also just a form of how humans communicate. We communicate by giving feedback and listening, so their is always something new to learn. You can learn what is relevant, and also how others feel about certain things taken place in society. In the school system it is important that teachers form relationships with families because of the importance of entailing the child's progress, behavior, etc. Teachers also have to send home weekly notes informing the parents of what their child/children are learning. We as teachers should encourage tparent involvement as much as possible, but of course their are some that won't participate with school activities. I communicate with my parents, associates, and other relatives on a daily basis. Also forming a postive relationship with co-workers is important. For one reason is to get to know each other background, likes/dislikes, etc. Out of all the relationships formed, each one has one charactersistic in common, you get to know where eachother stand on certain issues/topics.
