Mr. Thomasen says to you, I think those folks who talk about making sure we build relationships using high influence behaviors and high affect behaviors are overstating their case. There's no time in the day to make sure that every interaction I have with a student demonstrates those two qualities.. Your best response to him would be:
 
  a. Research indicates that those teachers who engage with their students only at high levels of affect and influence are more successful at managing the classroom.
  b. A teacher who doesn't actively work to cultivate healthy, mutually supportive relationships is likely to be as effective a classroom manager as those teachers who do attend to the interpersonal facets of class functioning.
  c. Fostering good relationships with students will depend on the cumulative effect of positive interactions; some routine interactions won't rise to the level of high influence and affect.
  d. Educational researchers often fail to recognize that some people naturally tend toward lower-level influence and affect behaviors, and that it's unlikely that they'll be able to change their core behaviors.
