The Fear of Teachers

I recently started reading Rafe Esquith's Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire, and have come across many extreme "ah-ha" moments. I can relate each point Esquith makes to myself or to a previous teacher.
One of the first points Esquith explains is that many teachers attempt to scare students, trying to intimidate them so the students will not act out in their classrooms. I never stopped to think of my fear of teachers... but I have started to think about the one teacher I feared the most...
This particular teacher was not friendly and easily became ill at me if I repeated a question another student had previously asked. I was not at all comfortable in this teacher's classroom, and could not learn to my potential because I was afraid of asking this teacher a question. I dreaded coming to this particular class, and often dreaded going to school because I knew I would have to go to that class. I guess I forgot about this teacher for a while, until I started reading this book, but it is utterly obvious to say I DO NOT want to become this teacher...
In addition to the concept of "fear" in a classroom, Esquith explains that teachers must establish a trustful classroom- a classroom in which students trust on a reliable, dependable teacher, and teachers trust the hard-working, diligent students. Esquith explains this trust must be discussed in the first day of class, and I plan on talking about this "trustful classroom" with my future students. I find that Esquith's concepts about trust can not only be applied to teaching, but to life in general. Esquith explains that teachers should stick to their word, and once students lose the teacher's trust, it can never be gained a hundred percent back. This past year, I have gone through situations in which trust (or lack of trust) was the reason why a problem was occurring, and have realized that Esquith's words apply to every part of life. I'm sure everyone has faced hardships of someone breaking trust, and I do not want to put my future students through that disappointment. The foundation of a wonderful teacher is trust, ad I plan to establish that with my future students from the get-go.
