How To Improve Education: Don't Get Tough; Just Get Connected. Presidential Address.
Parish, Thomas S.
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v13 n1 p13-16 Win 2000

Teachers must apply principles of friendship to connect with students and gain entry into students'"quality worlds." (Includes an outline of basic principles of friendship and a teacher effectiveness questionnaire.) (LP)
