Teacher Do's and Don'ts

As I prepare to lead a workshop on modeling the Warrior Way for our students it occurred to me that the students have just as much expertise on Student/Teacher relationships as we (the teachers) do.  I decided to give them a chance to list the do's and don'ts of building relationships with students.  Students worked in groups of 3-4 to list their top five pet peeves and favorite things teachers do.  Some of them are unreasonable and unhelpful like - DO bring us McDonald's and DON'T give homework...  Other comments are insightful and will give us a little taste of their perspective like - DO get to know me and DON'T ignore me...
