Being respectful is something that we're all taught of. We have always been told that respect is something that we should give to other people and that includes our teachers. However, I know a lot of students who do not give any deference to their instructors. They answer back like they're talking to kids and they even shout at some. How about you?? Are you a respectful student?? Honestly, in my case, I really think I am a respectful student and I give high regard to mentors.. Your turn..

Yes, I always respect my elders. I figure they are older and wiser, some of those kids that don't, should be quiet and take a listen, then they might learn something.

Well .... Nice Question here ... Makes me think again about how I behave with my Teachers, and elders in general... . Hmmm ... Well My giving respect to my Teacher is situational really , I mean , if the Teacher is knowledgeable , and teaches the subject properly , then I'm full of respect and admiration , but if Not than ... well I dont Disrespect him or something ... I just dont Respect him ... I mean I'll probably have a neutral approach towards him/her ... but generally talk normally with him/her .... and no , I never talk back to teachers , not even in my dreams .... Talking among friends, I always respect any elder , so teachers are included... Hope that wasn't boring .... ;-

RESPECT means its the differential esteem felt or shown towards a person or quality.As much I am concerned i respect my elders & teachers with regard to their great abilities they possess to do a thing with perfection.We respect people who possess certain good qualities with which they do good work.Even in our university we pay heed to students who solve our problems and not to the one who creates them.Respect come to you by the work you do and you become a respectful person.I think I am respectful student.

OK thanks for this response. It's cool that you could at least consider yourself an average.

I respect everyone whether I liek them or not. However, if I feel that they are doing something wrong I will address that with the teacher. The thing with me is that I am not afraid to stand up to authority when I feel I have been wronged. I was taught to defend my self without being rude. Which I have found that people of authority hate about me because they can't say anything because I handled it in a mature nature.

Hi, vesuvius.We've been told respect to others from a little child. I was a quite obedience person. I am always being respectful to my teacher. Well, sometimes there was bad teachers who has little knowledge or who with bad behavior I don't respect them too much. But I never show my inrespect to them, I just keep silence. I know it won't do me any good to show my dislike.

I'm a respectful student as I believe teachers help the students to gain the sucess they wish to attain.
