Question about teacher-student relationships

1. How does the importance of the teacher-student relationship compare to other important relationships, such as parents students relationship, in students'  lives?

From early childhood through adolescence, positive teacher-student relationships appear to complement the other relationships in students' lives. For young students, family relationships are more important that teacher-student relationships in predicting students' adjustment to kindergarten(Pianta, Nimetz &Bennett,1997).
In middle school students, the perception of their teacher (whether they felt that their teacher was supportive toward them or not) predicted students' interesting in learning and their engagement in classroom.At this level, parental support plays a complementary role by predicting youths' motivation in school (Wentzel,1998). In high school, both parent and teacher supportive (combined with parent and teacher monitoring and high expectation) play critical roles in predicting gains in mathematics achievements (Gregory & Weinstein, 2004).
