              Any successful classroom relies on the relationship of students and teachers. A good teacher will skillfully get across to the students his/her dominant role as leader as well as relate to them his/her concerns for each of them and the success of the  class as a whole. Some high-need students may be hard to reach, but they can be reached with special effort.  Withitness, the ability to identify and quickly act on potential behavior problems and emotional objectivity, the ability to interact with students in a businesslike, matter-of -fact manner are very important characteristics for success. Applying negative consequences for bad behavior could get tough here. I get bull-headed here because I am in the dominant role!      pp. 41-75
