Teacher s pet gets naked treat

By Steve Robson. Researchers at the University of Colorado found students think they have been marked more harshly if it is written in red ink.

A study showed students think they've been assessed more harshly when their work is covered in red ink compared to more neutral colours like blue.

The first study to look at the impact of the relationship with teachers on adolescent behaviour finds that a positive teacher-student relationship can be as effective as anti-bullying programmes at improving wellbeing in young people. Ideally, building healthy and supportive teacher-student relationships would become part of the curriculum in teacher training and intervention programmes as a way of improving adolescent well-being. The research also found that beneficial behaviours resulting from a positive teacher-student relationship when a child is on the cusp of adolescence lingered for up to four years — well into the difficult teenage years. The importance of good teacher relationships on infant behaviour was already known, and programmes have been designed to help preschool teachers improve relationships with pupils, which in turn improves pupil behaviour.

A MARRIED teacher at one of South Africa's most exclusive private schools has been sacked after allegedly having a string of affairs with pupils over a period of six years. Former model Fiona Viottia, 30, is also reported to have sent the boys a series of explicit videos that were later posted online. The allegations first came to light after the parents of a pupil at Cape Town's Bishops Diocesan College launched a complaint with the school. The year-old is reported to have begun a consensual relationship with Viotti but blown the whistle after she refused to let him end it.
