The most important part of this chapter was summed up in Vance response where she mentions that the most important part of teaching is for the teacher to do his or her job and do it well. Everything else, such as bonding with students and respect for one another, will fall into place if the teacher continues to do his or her job.
I think sometimes teachers worry to much about loosing control of their students, or not receiving the respect they should. To compensate for this teachers try to either become more of a buddy or an authority figure. One tries to win the students over by being their friend the other example tries to force the students to listen and pay attention. If teachers just took the time to do what they are suppose to, such as create lesson that are fun and engaging or challenge their students to dig deeper into a subject, then students will naturally come to respect that teacher.
