6.If teacher student relationships reflect both characteristics of the teachers and characteristics of students, how stable are these relationships overtime?
The quality of teacher-student relationships is surprisingly stable over time.In other words, if a kindergarten teacher has a conflictual relationship with a student, it is likely that the child's first and second grade teachers will also experience conflict in their relationship with that same child. this stability is more evident when the relationships are conflictual rather than when the relationships are described as close or dependent (Howes, Phillepsen and Peisner-Feinberg ,2000;Pianta & Stuuhlman, 2004).
Most likely the stability stem from the "internal work model"that students create in their mind about how relationships with adults typically ought to work.
