Chapter two focuses on the issues in the chapter's title. It all connects with how a teacher interacts with his or her students on a daily basis. At one point, a student named Lauraliz offers the advice that the instructor "should fill out the same questionnaire [as the students] and share his answer with the students. Let them laugh a little. There's nothing like laughing at a teacher" (Pg. 20).
I connect with that because one of my favorite things to do is to make people laugh, and it's a relief to hear that students want to laugh with me about things. A learning environment is always improved when students feel at ease, and there is no force more potent than humor when it comes to making people feel at ease.
