 *_What makes a school_* 
The five words that comes to my mind when I hear the word School - Learning, teachers, friends, activities & bell
 "Building relationship with children is by far the most important thing a teacher can do. Without a solid foundation & relationships built on the trust & respect , no quality learning will happen."
The role of school in building social skills is vital as it will ensure that students develop the ability to interact with people from different backgrounds and understand them better. The role of school cannot be stressed enough when it comes to building interpersonal and communication skills among kids. It not only helps them find new friends and expand their social circle but also helps build close ties with teachers through class discussions, activities, group work, celebrating festivals together etc.
A school has a great significance in a child's life. Apart from education, the school helps in child over all development by teaching them real life skills. According to me children should be taught about manners, moral values and the basics of the humanity. A school that opens the world to you, shows you beauty, allows you to discover the very worst in mankind & helps you to learn to adapt to whatever comes your way. School must equip students with the knowledge & skills they will need to succeed in an uncertain, constantly changing tomorrow. School should be a place for self exploration & self determination. It should be a place where talents are revealed & nurtured. A place where children could develop their understanding of what it means to be happy & not to be stressed about anything .A place in which you can explore what motivates you & makes you curious to learn. Positive learning emotions include interest, curiosity, passion creativity & joy. It can enable students to broaden their perspective, see alternative persist through challenges &  respond effectively to criticism & failure. 

 We have all been to school &  loved each and every moment  spent over there by playing , doing different activities, studying in a group, participating in different competitions etc. ,  as those were the building blocks of our lives. After home school is the place where we spend the most of our childhood. A school is a place where the children are taught the fundamental of life as well as how to grow & survive in life. It instils in us  values and principles that serves as the foundation for a child's development. As an individual, I feel renewed & blessed to be a teacher. As for a teacher there is nothing more rewarding than knowing & seeing the evidence that you have made an impact on someone's life.      Nothing is more rewarding to a teacher than having a former student return to say, " *Thank you, you made a difference".*

*Teacher- Student Relationship*  One of most sacred relationship in the world is that of a teacher & a student. The relationship between a teacher and a student is a unique bond. It’s a blend of respect, trust, and mutual learning. Teachers and students are the two ends of knowledge-building in society. This is why it’s so important for a rapport between them to be well constructed and to allow students to be the protagonists of their own learning process. Sometimes, students are under pressure to accomplish so much within a short time, and a good student-teacher relationship may aid them in overcoming such challenges. A relationship that acts as a guiding light to spot any problem right after conception. Educators are extremely attuned to their students’ reactions, conduct, and behaviours, so they can notice issues before they become significant problems regarding academic progress, behaviours, or personal matters. This sense of trust & respect results in an environment fo...
