  Case: Wanting to be the "Cool Teacher" while also having the respect of my students.
As I am about to enter into my observation hours and internships, one thing I hope to learn from those, if not on here, is how to be a teacher that is likeable but also a teacher that my students respect as a figure of authority. What are the best ways to gain those levels of respect in regards to teaching methods(student and teacher based styles)?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The feeling of being liked is nice, and can be helpful as an educator; but being liked isn’t something you should strive for. Be competent at your job as an educator, and be firm and friendly!

Comments: I understand what you mean about how being well-liked should not necessarily be the main goal of a teacher, but I think this could have been worded differently. Relationships are so crucial when it comes to student-teacher relationships, students are more willing to learn from their teacher when they have a positive relationship with their teacher.

Comments: Overall I don't see how this solution solves the proposed problem. Although it is crucial for your students to respect your teaching ability, they should also respect you as a person.
