Enduring human relationships between students and their teachers are essential and irreplaceable. The task of all teachers is to work with the developing individuality of each student and with each class as a whole. Truly human pedagogical relationships gain in depth and stability when they are cultivated over many years. They cannot be replaced by instruction utilizing computers or other electronic means. Healthy working relationships with parents and colleagues are also essential to the well-being of the class community and the school.
