Excerpt from Chapter 13:

     "The long reach and powerful grasp of caring relationships in schools is well documented in close to seventy years of education research. Emotional bonds with adults serve as a foundation for the development of intellectual and social competence in students. When teachers have regard and respect for students and vice versa, learning proceeds better. In this section we study what people do to create these relations."
