Even with careful planning, there will still be students who test limits by attempting to bring in their own personal lives or ask the instructor about hers. The instructor can set boundaries by asking students to talk about their personal lives or share pictures with classmates after class rather than taking up class time passing them around. To questions about her own life that may seem too intimate, the instructor can respond with a smile, “I don’t discuss my personal life in class,” so that it is seen as a general policy, related to teacher, and not directed at a specific student. This can also be followed up with a small joke such as “I’m afraid it might put you to sleep.”
Be Straightforward
As with most interactions with others, straightforwardness is usually best as people are notoriously poor at picking up on subtle clues and hints. It’s best that you are honest about the kind of relationship you want with your students: one of mutual respect and learning, for example—but inside the class.
Be Professional
